On Pretty Ugly,
Lunachicks play as fast as ever, but display a melodic flair that owes as much to girl groups as it does to riot grrrl groups. Right out of the gate the band delivers a delightful piece of bubblegum simplicity with the gleefully
Ramones-inspired "Yeah," and the intensity of that track -- not to mention its melodic appeal -- is maintained for most of the disc. There's a sweetness to the material which belies
Lunachicks' reputation for gross-out gimmickry and feminist anger. As Pretty Ugly proves,
Lunachicks are a band who, more than anything else, love the genderless fun of playing rock & roll. ~ Andy Hinds
