LeBlanc

This Is Me

Mandi LeBlanc left the comfortable confines of Austin for Brooklyn two years ago, but her blend of riot grrrl and folk rock has River City written all over it. Don't be fooled by opener "Cute Boyfriend" as the fourpiece LeBlanc is more Ani than Liz, more roots than rock, which goes limp on sappers like "Subway Love" and the no-excuse "Fire Alarm." Less nose, more passion, please. **
