BYO signs Clorox Girls

Contributed by an Anonymous Source. Posted by adam on Monday, October 2, 2006 at 10:40 PM (EDT)

BYO Records has signed Portland, OR based three-piece Clorox Girls. The band will enter the studio with producer Pat Kearns (Exploding Hearts) in early December to record a new full length. That record should hit stores by next April. It will follow up the band's two full lengths for Smartguy Records and a number of 7" releases.

The label describes the act as "channelling the late-'70s LA-style punk rock attitude of brevity, urgency, and punchy pop hooks." You can preview some of their past work at their MySpace page.

Eh. I have one album from these guys and it's not bad but nothing special.

Someone (October 2, 2006)

the mp3's on their website aren't bad, old school pop punk almost in the vein of ramones or angry samoans

gladimnotemo (October 2, 2006)

I haven't heard this band too much, but I know its tied into the Observers somehow...so I'm okay with that. BYO is a weird move, though.

Ben_Conoley (October 2, 2006)

Well, they sure moved on fast, didn't they.

Someone (October 2, 2006)

Their S/T is amazing, one of my favorite pop punk record.

Really happy about this move, maybe theyll finally make it back to Canada now

punkbytheounce (October 2, 2006)

Hey, I've seen this band. They're okay.

Someone (October 2, 2006)

hey, an all dude band? where are the actual girls? wha' happened?!!!

cjmarsicano (October 3, 2006)

That's one band that won't get screwed by Tony Brummel ;)

Someone (October 3, 2006)

"late-'70s LA-style punk rock"...

Shouldn't you just say they sound like X?

they are all dude

Late 70's LA Punk Rock is a vague term. It was the most diverse scene of it's day. Weirdos, X, Flesh Eaters, Catholic Dicipline, Castration Squad, Bags, Germs, Black Flag, Black Randy, Eyes, Dils, Geza X, Top Jimmy and the Rhythm Pigs....none of these bands sound anything alike. That said, Clorox Girls are a pretty good band.

it dosent matter how the bands sounded they capture the punk attitude idiot. read the whole thing.

Someone (October 3, 2006)

How is LA punk attitude different than any other area's punk attitude?...idiot.

JoeyMagnet (October 3, 2006)

as they got their name from a Red Cross song, I'm going to say they sound something like Red Cross meets the Descendents.

TheMike (October 3, 2006)

Judging by recent news stories, BYO records is rather busy as of late. Good to see.

Someone (October 3, 2006)

bad luck guys - prepare to be shit on signing for that disloyal label

-Pete

Someone (October 3, 2006)

sounds like you have a story..do tell!

Someone (October 3, 2006)

i will do. royally fucked over. will explain on next BYO article. no point on here as this is on 2nd page now

Nineden (October 4, 2006)

i suggest you e-mail Shawn Stern in advance and give him a chance to respond to your accusations. otherwise, you're just another asshole talking shit on the internet.

Someone (October 3, 2006)

Yea, I'm curious. There are a few posters mentioning BYO being shitty. I wanna know!!

Someone (October 3, 2006)

good band, bad label.

Someone (October 3, 2006)

unexpected, but cool.

Someone (October 3, 2006)

yessss i love the clorox girls! and byo is a good label.

Someone (October 3, 2006)

Clorox Girls are good, but the Observers were better. Signing to BYO is a weird move.
