“I got something to prove, I got nothing to lose,” singer/guitarist Miesha Louie proclaims in So Mad, while drummer Sean Hamilton reinforces these lyrics with striking twists and turns.* This captures exactly what Unconditional Love In Hi-Fi, the new full-length by Calgary’s garage punk duo Miesha & The Spanks, is all about (our expectations after the promising single I Can’t Wait b/w Dig Me Out – both present on the album – are easily fulfilled). The tunes here are big on everything, from the mighty vocals and heavy guitar riffs to the straightforward lyrics (about real world problems) and solid sound. This is how you color a concrete wall.
Unconditional Love In Hi-Fi, produced by Daniel Farrant & Paul Rawson, is out now digitally, on CD and vinyl LP through Mint Records. *If you’re wondering if the duo are considering adding a bass player, listen to the last lines of raucous closing track I Was Gonna.
