Shirleys Temple

"Shirleys Temple play pop music, if the Minister of Pop Music was some dude in a skull t-shirt and leather pants who really dug the Hellacopters and getting it on. These Norwegian power poppers are all chiming metallic guitars, fist punching choruses that gravitate towards gangland shouts of "Woo-hoo!", and lust songs for ex-girlfriends and their foxy younger sisters. If radio programmers in this country all misplaced their goofy Linkin Park and Sum 41 records and played Shirleys Temple instead, you’d have a nation full of cooler haircuts, hotter chicks, and sunnier dispositions in a week. And you’ve just got to love the tenacity and honesty of a band that exuberantly announces "My baby’s gonna be the one, gets me high and makes me cum" in their chart climbing lead off single. Makes that ‘Broken Home’ junk look absolutely unnecessary in comparison"
