Love the albums byline/disclaimer: “All harmonies are real. Self-produced and self-released. No politics and nothing corporate.” Music industry, this is a big call-out from one of the more important independent groups out there writing pop music that, given the chance, could easily act as a trash compactor to all the drivel that you’d “hear” on American Idol. (If you ask why I put hear in quotes, it’s because the whole damn thing is a farce of over-dubbing and effects). The Kimberly Trip has over the years been one of the best female-fronted outfits that I’ve had the pleasure of hearing. To review them, is like to critique gods and goddesses from age-old mythology; there’s simply not enough you could write to justify their influence and awesomeness let alone their legendary status. How could a band possibly not be awesome when they have a song called “There’s No ‘I’ in ‘Team’ (but there’s a ‘u’ in ‘stupid’)”? Love-struck pop melodies from this Sacramento pop outfit are unleashed with nary a care of ensuring that they fit within the cookie cutters known as today’s pop-rock – guess that makes their album title “Generation Stereotype” that much more ironic, eh? You can’t go wrong with a single track on this album, easily the group strongest, which is saying a lot. I declare that The Kimberly Trip has officially made my Top Ten Pop Bands I’d Love to Eat Pizza with. This is a coveted list, for sure!
