Rude and Adorable Post-Punk
By Music Director | Published July 21st, 2010We just got this record in from Crustacean Records: It’s the new release from Screamin’ Cyn Cyn & The Pons, “Damn Girl.” Behind the plastic-gem bedazzled gold acrylic nails is a band that appear not to take themselves very seriously.
