Power pop and new wave collided and made babies in Columbus, Ohio when Manda and the Marbles made their new album, Angels With Dirty Faces.
The furious threesome, fronted by angelic bassist Manda, charm us with Blondie/Joan Jett vocals and synthesizers galore. Angels With Dirty Faces has an excellent balance of power pop and punk, especially on cuts like \"Ode To Rock\" and \"Boys Will Be Boys\", and flows into more mellow tunes like \"Seventeen\". This album has a wide range of melodies and is well put together, so much so that anyone can find something to like about it.
Yes, Manda and the Marbles have come a long way since I saw them at a filthy watering hole in Columbus four years ago. So I urge anyone to help The Marbles progress some more and get some Angels With Dirty Faces.
