BEST OF 2010 (songs) #8 Dum Dum Girls - Bhang Bhang, I'm A Burnout

Dum Dum Girls "Bhang Bhang, I'm a Burnout" from Sub Pop Records on Vimeo.


"Bhang Bhang, I'm A Burnout" is a bad girl anthem filtered through the prism of the Ronettes and "Garageland" in equal parts, making for one of the most memorable girl punk/garage singles in recent years (years which have seen a slew of girl punk/garage singles). Lead singer Dee Dee's sultry girl-group vocals are perfectly complemented by band members Jules, Bambi and the ubiquitous Frankie Rose who play it lo-fi but full-throated, precise but serrated, and pretty but dangerous. "Bhang Bhang" is pop alright, but it's more poison than bubblegum.
