Smells Like Teenybopper Spirit
Pop/punk band is naturally deodorized
What the hell is pop/punk, anyway? Wasn't punk originally a coup d'état against bloated pop stars? Well, if there is such a thing as pop/punk, The Dollyrots are it. Think the soda-pop effervescence of Belinda Carlisle's Go-Go's surgically sutured to Nirvana's jagged harmonics. The L.A. trio's single "Because I'm Awesome" -- released by Joan Jett's Blackheart label -- is, in fact, a Nirvana Lite sequel to "Smells Like Teen Spirit," with singer/bassist Kelly Ogden yelping "I always tell you how great you smell/It's 'cause I'm naturally deodorized."
