Baby Baby - Don't Kiss The Merch Girl by gospelofrhythm published on 2012-05-25T22:32:31Z Hey Everybody, Here is "Don't Kiss The Merch Girl" by Baby Baby for your audio enjoyment! Baby Baby are if the “Bad Brains and Kings Of Leon had a baby that was styled by In Living Colour and was raised by Lamar of Revenge Of The Nerds” – Clark Westfield "Don't Kiss The Merch Girl" was released on Baby Baby's debut album "Money" in May of 2011. Below are two reviews of the album: "A cluster-fuck of joyful noise with a wide variety of influences and stylings, this album is a wild ride spawned from the recklessly creative minds of four fun-loving dudes from Georgia. You can hear the sunshine in the music, with punky beats & riffs echoing sounds from the era of Sublime, dashes of harder punk like Fugazi, and definite influences of hard liquor mixin’ with testosterone. Throw this album in at your next party, dump the Everclear in the Jungle Juice and get crazy already! It’s evident that the only thing to be done with this album is to pop it in, get fucked up, get loud, and jump around. Sounds like a good time, right? Best get the album." -P.Buchanan / Slug Magazine "They'll do this all night long" "You must not know who you're dealing with," Fontez Brooks whispers on Money's tent pole track "Fire." Then Baby Baby combusts into a feverish frenzy of breakdown dancebeats, grunge-worthy distortion, and one funky-ass bass line as the chorus chants "set my heart on fire!" It's a beautiful moment from a garage-pop band that's more punk than anything seen this side of the millennium. Every track on Money features Brooks' soulful yet cartoonish vocals, Grant's impressive caveman-esque drumming and Kyle's technical bass calisthenics. Newcomer Colin adds an air with breathy backups and miscellaneous percussion. "Fire" predictably scorches. "London Bridges" is a heartfelt dance jam about being in the "friend zone." "Fight Club" is surprisingly heavy with a down and dirty guitar line that they beat to death - fitting, considering the track's title. It ends at least twice, only to start again (and again) in increasingly hilarious fashion. Who would want it to end anyway? Baby Baby's entertainment is infinite. Just look at the album's title track, cleverly named "$." Or the bank robbing fantasy "Nothing to Lose" where the perpetrators "have to be home by five." It's hilarious. The catchy melodies and memorable hooks are a bonus. Money is just four dudes having fun slamming on their instruments and acting a fool. Fortunately they do so with surprising skill and the songs are a blast. It's worth it just to hear Brooks rant about a bad date on the album's first track, titled, "I Could Have Taken You to See the Blink 182 Reunion Show but I Spent $20 Taking You Out on a Date Instead and You Didn't Return My Phone Call so Now I Want My Refund (aka $20)." Long live Baby Baby. (Gospel of Rhythm) - Joshua Bottomley / Performer Magazine thanks for listening! take care, The Gospel Of Rhythm Recordings Genre funrock
