Desperate Teenage Love Dolls
Punk rock, like other massively impactful human inventions, such as fire and the wheel, has its ultimate and Divine Purpose—but also, alas, its limitations. The A-Bomb has its limitations too, insomuch as it cannot create anything new except a better breeding ground for giant-sized roaches. Desperate Teenage Love Dolls, like the nukes, could also have, at one time, given birth to a new breeding ground for mutant vermin. Alas, the time when it could have wiped out an entire city has long since passed.

LISTEN IN HERE https://open.spotify.com/album/0qAEWbbrdv4uSrXjmRco03 Some songs slip into the background without asking much of us. Others arrive with a presence that refuses to be ignored. “Blessed in My Heels,” the new single from Canadian artist Ger Carriere, is one of those songs that walks into the room with full confidence, locks eyes, and doesn’t look away. From its first notes, it’s clear this track isn’t interested in blending in—it’s built to take up space, and it does so with style.
