The Bruises February 2, 2008

The Bruises embrace incredibly catchy choruses, dueling female vocal harmonies and a serrated double guitar attack by balancing the tightrope between indie and mainstream rock. The Hooks is four-piece rock/punk band from San Francisco, California. "Up-front and catchy pop is their specialty--and they do it up right. The music is more about breakin' up than makin' up, but you can dance to it all night and it's still in your head the next morning." --SF Station
