And you thought No Means Yes had the worst girl group name around.
Nay, I’d say that distinction lies on the shoulders of the up-and-coming Girls Can’t Catch. Why? It’s just stupid. It’s not ironic enough to be considered clever (if they were named Girls Can’t Sing, I’d be bowing at their feet), nor is it a band title you’d feel particularly comfortable saying aloud when somebody asks, “Hey, what are you listening to?” and you respond “Girls Can’t Catch,” and then they say “Girls can’t what?” and then you say “Girls Can’t Catch,” and then say “Why are they named that?” and you say “I don’t know. Who are you?” and then they steal your purse (or murse) and slap you.
But aside from their name, it’s the music we’re about, so let’s have at it then.
“Keep Your Head Up” is essentially a Saturdays song, in that it constantly borders on the edge of Aloud brilliance, but fails to boost itself up past its B-grade chorus. The beat is very Rachel Stevens, and the verses somehow remind me of “Birthday Sex,” but maybe I’ve never really gotten that out of my head.
The singing isn’t bad though.
And here we have the video in which the girls demonstrate that, while they cannot catch, they can surely croquet.
It is generally nice looking, though I don’t really feel like I’m looking at ‘stars’ if you catch my drift.
TIME WILL TELL.
