“With
beefy production, big riffs, and even bigger drums, Make Yr Life
is as accessible as
the Donnas, and
just as sexy, regardless of your sexual preference.”
(**** Four Star Rating)
– Alternative Press
“To answer
the Butchies repeated question in the hook of ‘Lydia,’
‘Did you get what
you’re asking
for?’ Yes… yes, I did. A damn fine rock ‘n’
roll record.”
– Amplifier
“Make Yr
Life’s sound is just a tad more mature than previous Butchies
albums,
but quite a lot
more focused. If this is what punk rock sounds like when it grows
up a little,
more of those
bands should trade in their training wheels.”
–CMJ New Music Report
“See these
sweet Southern grrls now before they fall prey to the inevitable
limos and hookers.”
– The Village Voice
“Make Yr
Life is a sweaty, loud, lesbionic jump-spin-makeout record, and
power-pop
has rarely found
a more exciting context. Strongly recommended.”
– Pop Matters
“Usually,
it’s a bad sign when an album’s best song is a cover.
But the first nine tracks on
Make Yr Life,
the fourth record from North Carolina’s Butchies, are such
tasty slices of
classic power
pop that the stunning version of the Outfield’s 1985 hit ‘Your
Love,’
which closes the
album, is just a show-stopping bonus.”
– The Philadelphia Inquirer
“Proving
that girls can play as good as any bunch of fellows, The Butchies
are talented,
truly original
and just plain fun. And their approach comes through on ‘Make
Yr Life.’
With the strong
lyrics, solid vocals, and ambitious instrumentals,
you’ll be
signing along before you know it.”
– Birmingham Post-Herald
“Wilson’s
guitar crunches with the best of them (especially on ‘Trouble’),
Melissa York is a
rock behind the
drums, and Alison Martlew’s bass is as big shouldered as ever.
This stuff is
as good as anything on mainstream radio”
– Girlfriends
