American Pinup-Strange Creatures
Altercation
February 8, 2011

With a name like American Pinup, I was expecting a dirty rock and roll greaser band. Instead, I'm treated to a band tailor made for the summertime, as well as crossover success. American Pinup have a light, easy going feel to them, with a pop punk sound that is hard driving and catchy enough for all sorts of people to like.

Lauren West is the X factor for the success I predict this band will have very soon. Her voice is very reminiscent of Gwen Stefani, and she's a looker too. Her vocals are the trademark of this band, and its a smooth sensual voice that is full of hooks. The music keeps things simple, playing a mixture of pop punk with some ska tossed in there as well.

Strange Creatures is a sleeper album. In the right hands, this could be a monster. These songs are relaxing and a lot of fun to listen to. Keep an eye out for American Pinup, as they should be taking over the airwaves soon.
