Cruiserweight: Big Bold Letters

Cruiserweight
Big Bold Letters
Doghouse Records [2008]








Fire Drills Review:
Cruiserweight are a female fronted straight up power pop rock band from Austin, TX that hits you with 13 memorable and catchy tracks. Stella Maxwell leads the charge with energy that only a good leader can have supported by her two brothers Yogi and Urny plus bassist David Hawkins rounding out the four piece. Big Bold Letters is the groups sophomore record and a throwback to 90s alternative bands Letters To Cleo and Eve's Plum with its guitar assaults and hooks that keep you coming back for more and it has the potential for a much bigger audience just given the chance.

Key Track: "Balboa"

Band With Similar Fire: Paramore
