The Brides is the name of more than one artist: 1) gothic rock 2) punk rock 1. “Mixing a B-horror image with a blend of deathrock, pop, old punk, new-wave, rockabilly, ska, faint hints of disco and a breath of gothic seems like the sort of thing you’d sell to the Orion’s used bin for less than a dollar without blinking. However, THE BRIDES combine all these disparate elements seamlessly and, what’s even more surprising, originally. Jagged, spewing bass, clever, morbid lyrics, slicing, bobbing organ and choppy rhythm guitar will make you wanna dance ‘til dawn. But be reassured; the tunes are catchy and nearly anthemic—accessible—complete with poppy, cheeky choruses, but would never be played on the radio in a million years… Alright!” - Rebecca Vernon (Slug Magazine) 2. MId-nineties garage-influenced punk band from Chicago - "Total snotty, punk-by-the-alphabet, lightning-fast rock and roll, the sort where you can’t help but want to get your shirt dirty a little bit from everyone else’s beer, sweat, and tears of joy."
