The Sweethearts
Looks Could Kill (Mortville)
Been there, done that. Local punks the Sweethearts are No Doubt without the backbeat. Linette Liendo's Gwen Stefani vox necessitates nose-pinching, but on top of a simple punk rock beat, it's more Screaching Weasel than "Spiderwebs." Or maybe that should read "Chipmunks." And never has a pop-punk band pulled off a real "Spanish Love Song," even if sung like a newscaster sucking helium on a vibrating bed.
