General Comments

The Kimberly Trip, Catastrophic Behavior - The Kimberly Trip from Sacramento, CA, create old-school pop for nostalgics and revivalists. Once upon a time there were new wave acts such as this scattered across the globe, but like the dinosaurs, they simply vanished. No matter. "Catastrophic Behavior" is a summer blast of '80s guitar-rock intoxication, Oingo Boingo keyboards, and sweet-as-honey lead female vocals that are more beautiful than Gwen Stefani's could ever be. Count "Supergloo" is among the keepers with its finger-snapping heartbreak beat. Electric guitars that rock but don't bleed the eardrums and synthesizers that imitate classic Atari games - does it get any better than this? Pure bliss!
