So what is UP w/ this band? Nothing out there and it`s been out for 18 months?! No reviews, no info, blog posts, tweets, articles - pretty much nothing of note. Well, Little Steven`s label`s got to do better as the music is really wonderful and deserves a fair hearing but us all. Listening to this, it`s hard to fathom why as it`s a modern rocking version of The Go-Gos, The Runaways and Blondie. What would there NOT to be loved as long as the songs are there and while there are no instant classics here, they serve the spirit of yesteryear really fine. ""Sentenced to Love" is a tight song with cool keys and a strong beat, but there`s something more with the girl group harmonies and the the vocal stretches of "aye yaye yayes" more well known of male vocalists make it a lot of fun. "You Do Run" has a catchy chorus that you can`t help thinking of "Da Doo Run Run", but that was probably intentional. It`s a straighter song, but again oh, those great harmonies and impressively tight rock beat. The title track "St. Valentine`s Day Massacre` sounds better the second time around within the larger context of a full length album and has a groovy organ throughout. The rock guard comes down on songs like "Don`t Ever Leave Me" and "I Got A Crush On You, both sweet, full on `60s girl group homages with all the vulnerability of an original, but definitely cooler with some melodic guitars and vintage organ. "Anything You Want" is probably the best description of The Cocktail Slippers overall sound: A tight, garage rock band with an affinity of 60`s girl group pop. " - PaisleyUmbrella blog.
