Inspired by equal parts of Elastica, The Muffs, Blondie and The Skirts, Heavy Stud is (ironically) the work of two talented women who don`t mess around and stuff their seductive strut of hard-rocking pop tunes into this tight package of snippy and snappy 10 songs. "Theyve also developed Heavy Stud from a scrappy punk band into a tight, loud power-pop combo heavy on the hooks and harmonies. The band, they admit, had something to prove. For starters, theyve been criticized for playing up their sex appeal on stage.. he most retro-sounding tune, and one of the catchiest, is "Over the Top," which includes a couple of new-wave allusions. The kickoff sounds similar to Blondies "Hangin on the Telephone," and theres a Cars-ish organ deep in the mix (it shows up just at the mention of "my best friends car"). With a rousing chorus of "1999 over and over," its the kind of song that condenses the feeling of a good wild night into three minutes."-The Boston Phoenix.
