Published on June 8th 2004

What the hell is up with girls and thinking they can play cohesive hardcore? You don't see guys trying to be like Ani Difranco. Well, actually, you do, and everyone makes fun of them. But anyway, To See You Broken is a hardcore band from the west coast comprised of all chick members. The singer has the most annoying voice ever, and the background music the rest of the band makes sounds like its coming from a bunch of 15 year olds. But, it's actually kinda good once you stop wanting to kick the singer in the face, which takes about as long as it does to convince your best friend to shave off all your pubic hair for you.

Also, this is probably the #1 pretentious hardcore record of the year. The lyrics are funny as hell (the singer trying to be smart or something) and the album tite is almost as pukeworthy as some of the worse indie rock that came out last year. "Purchasing an Image" would be cool if it were sung by a guy. Oreos are cool, and I'm eating them now. It's much more interesting to stare at the design on an Oreo than it is to listen to this band. At least the Oreo doesn't want to kill you by poisoning your food with cyanide.

RIYL: Um, if you like anything good, you probably won't like this. If you listen to shit like Team Dresch and Bikini Kill, you might like this because it will sound cool coming out of your shitty flower car while you sweat in your lame-ass bandana. Hippie feminist man-hater.

    Seriously, if you think that's not funny, there's something wrong with you.

    Wow..

    That review was hilarious.

    I doubt however that it was serious.

    I'm either not getting the joke or the punknews.org staff is a lot more sexist than I assumed.

    you guys take stuff too seriously. this band sucks, and its not because they're chicks, it's because they're chicks that think they can play but can't. listen to the record and maybe you'll understand what this kid was talking about.

    awful review, although I do agree that girl hardcore singers do get on my nerves, but still this review didn't tell me shit about the record besides that it sucked.

    Since when were reviews like this acceptable?

    Is everything based on image?

    Wow I like the occaisional misogynist joke, but what a douche. Womens' voices in any aggressive form of rock always works for me. Riddle me this: Have you heard F-Minus?

    guys like this reviewer are the reason that hardcore sucks now. i'd rather be a ladyman than an ass-slappin' homoerotic bandanna toting tuff-guy shithead any day. put the flower on my car, you can have your sausage party.

    "coming out of your shitty flower car"

    That's fucking funny... despite that, though, the rest of the review is pretty stupid. At least give us a sample of the awful lyrics if you're going to blast them.

    This is the worst review this site has ever posted.

    As far as the music goes: it has to be better than crap like Brother's Keeper... and who in their right mind doesn't like punk rock girls?

    Quite a bit of misogyny in this review... if there is something wrong with the music, then say that, but I don't think the fact that they're women is in any way relevant.
