Grade: C
Girl rockers Dum Dum Girls have been releasing new music since 2008 when the band was merely a project for lead singer Dee Dee Penny. Now, the band is back with “Too True,” where Dum Dum Girls openly shows its influences, beckoning to female-led giants like Blondie, The Pretenders and The Breeders. Despite these merits, it doesn’t offer much. The songs refuse to venture further into the obvious muses from which the band pulled. Each song moves into the next, but not in the fluid way a record should. It leaves listeners thinking, “Which one was that again?” rather than “Yes, I love this song!” Hopefully Dum Dum Girls will continue to be as prolific as it has been in its short life as a group. Only in making more music can the band find something to project them into the attention of more fans.
