    It’s “Lost Boys and Girls Club,” “Cult of Love,” and “Trouble Is My Name” (“Trouble is my name/ Is it your name too?”), endless clichés in songwriting, narrative, subject, and sound.

    Too True amounts to little more than a succession of cliches and wall-to-wall empty stylisation, with the femme four-piece seemingly unaware that mimicry is not art, and nor is seriousness the same as being a serious artist.

    Sweet and sensual, with a lot of jangly guitar pop and garage rock edge. 80's rock and new wave vibes find their way into this record as well.Sweet and sensual, with a lot of jangly guitar pop and garage rock edge. 80's rock and new wave vibes find their way into this record as well. Blondie was clearly a big influence here. The songs are dark and moody but like all their previous work, it has very underwhelming vocals and melodies.
