After paying tribute to their musical heroes with their Adventures in Coverland project, San Antonio garage pop/grunge/punk trio Girl in a Coma are back with a self-penned collection of songs. Exists & All The Rest is filled to the rafters with their signature Sixties pop melodies wrapped in punk, grunge and a bit of Tex Mex. She Had a Plan, is the track that sums it all up: a surf rock bass line bubbling under a careful power chords and instantly hummable guitar motifs, crystal clear lead vocals, leading up to grungy feedback freak out.
Girl in a Coma are a self-confident, tough band, even when they go slow (Sly) of channel the sunny girl group pop sound (Smart). Recommended if you like Belly, The Breeders, PJ Harvey, and The Crystals.
