Snobbish? No. Très snotty? Mais oui, mes amis! The opposite of brie-eating sommeliers, Les Hatepinks defy American stereotypes of the French as pretentious foodies and poets. This bratty quartet plays '80s-inspired garage punk that's taut, tuneful, and pierced by both skinny-tie New Wave hooks and snide cynicism: Imagine the Briefs' snarky, smart-aleck pogo pop given a Francophiliac twist. And they don't spare themselves from criticism, either, as songs like "I'm a Gimmick (New Wave Punque Is Fuquing Shit)" prove — that is, if you can understand their accent.
