The Frontier Brothers

Space Punk Starlet

The Frontier Brothers have accumulated one big mess. When Marshall Galactic, who attributes honey and bourbon to his "vocal successes," introduces the album in a faux British accent, the cringing begins. Space Punk Starlet is piano rock attempting to be relevant, but the entire love affair with a robot named TESS ends up sounding like the worst song of all time, the New Radicals' "You Get What You Give." Ugh.
