Album Description

Featuring Neko Case on vocals and drums! Mint Records is happy to reissue this well-trained cow-punk trio's hard-hitting garage sounds. Released in 1996, The Unforgiving Sounds of Maow is full of highlights, such as Neko Case belting out some Wanda Jackson and Nancy Sinatra numbers while spanking the cans in full Levon Helm style. Sounding kind of like Nancy Sinatra going out drinking with The Cramps, Maow references brazen, raunchy garage and rock `n' roll in the tradition of The Trashwomen and The Shitbirds!

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2003-06-26

I was expecting this to lean more toward rockabilly than punk. Even for punk it's pretty amateurish musically. Neko has the best voice of the 3 Maow-ers but her singing has vastly improved since this came out. Skip this and get her more recent stuff.

4 out of 5 stars Fun stuff from the young Neko Case.......2002-12-06

Twangcore diva Neko Case's first band cranked out loud, cowpunky grrrly pop-punk which ain't quite as raspy as you might imagine. Pretty bouncy and melodic, as a matter of fact. The songs are all pretty short and to the point - and the point usually has something to do with casual sex with someone who needs to be ditched ASAP... This fits into a long line of brash, punkier-than-thou chick rockers, from the Pleasure Seekers on down to L7, the Raunchettes, Bratmobile and the like. The band wears its sneery distain on its sleeves, and even though the songs are catchy, after a while the subject matter seems a bit same-y. Neko's country leanings are clear fron the word go, what with a gnarly cover of Wanda Jackson's "Mean Mean Man", and various other twang-ish numbers. Cool record... it's the kind of thing you might outgrow pretty quickly, but if you're in the mood, this totally rocks.
