The follow-up to Songs to Rollerskate To is a slightly more
thoughtful and ambitious project displaying more of a group effort this
time around. Literacy Is Sexy sees the incorporation of 80's
guitar riffage, political sloganeering, and more tambourines. Five songs
of Art Punk/Distortion Pop Glory in less than Twenty Minutes.
1 Fuck Art, Let's Kill
2 Motown (Literacy is Sexy)
3 Miss America (Being Right Isn't Enough)
4 Some Kind of Wonderful
5 Classic Arms (mp3)
"Literacy Is Sexy leaves you anxious for more and eager to
see just how far this young band can push its sound, which is overactive
and idiosyncratic in a charmingly spirited way."

"On “Literacy Is Sexy,” which musically crosses a dividing
line between snap crackle country jangles, pop spasms, roiling tongue
tying, and dysfunctional rock, aims at the girls with public library
curiosity, so-curvy vocabularies, and succulent smiles, the ones who can
walk through logic like “we’re all for sale” without even blinking
at the references to Fugazi and labor theory."
