“…90s-leaning cuts of minimal guitar fuzz and tight, sticky melodies marked by singer Abby Weems’ endearing Liz Phair-type monotone…the subtle feminist bent you’d expect from a band named after a Bratmobile record.” – Pitchfork
“…the downer charm of early grunge… excellent.” – The New York Times
Hailing from the home of Thurston Moore and Dinosaur Jr., and drawing from the fertile music community that is Western Massachusetts, Potty Mouth are all-parts smart-pop craftswomen, specializing in taut, infectious, C-86 influenced indie pop meets ’77 punk perfection. The band released their debut 12″ vinyl EP, titled Sun Damage, in July 2012, which garnered the attention ofPitchfork, who called the six-song EP an “an impressive, no-filler debut,” as well as The Boston Globe, who named Potty Mouth one of the “top five indie-rock bands to watch in 2013,” withBrooklynVegan adding that they were, “one of the most promising new bands in their local scene.” Departing from the more angular shades of post-punk heard in their EP, Hell Bent (Old Flame [US] / Marshall Teller [UK]) is marked by its significantly heavier production and melancholic hooks. Nonetheless, the album stays true to the confident, youthful punk aesthetic the band has cultivated for themselves.
