The Beautiful New Born Children

Who says good things have to last long? Not me, and neither do The Beautiful New Born Children (The BNBC). Their songs are short, their album looks like it’s gonna be short. I don’t get the chance to get bored with them even though they picked one sound and ran with it. And the sound is mostly very much like The Stooges. Though they claim they don’t own a single Stooges album on their myspace page. I have to admit that “Papermill” sounds more like the lost This Is It track, but the rest sounds very Stoogesque.

They make up for their lack of diversity and originality by being elated and jubilant like only a beautiful newborn band can be. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with celebrating the time that bands used to sing about how they hoped to die before they got old, which is what The BNBC do. Loudly. I doubt their upcoming album Hey People will cause a big stir in the music world, but they sure know how to have fun with a capital f … so Fun. If you’re looking for a band of the hour, day, or week, if you want an instant pick-me-up, or if you have the sudden urge for a twenty minute pogo session, The BNBC are exactly what you’re looking for.
