  Seminal riot grrrl trio EXCUSE SEVENTEEN dishes out a short and sweet kiss-off to a false friend. The upbeat, punk-pop melody builds intensity with each chorus, when the backing vocals evolve from sing-along to ragged shouting. The tension between the cuteness of the music and the emotional venom of the lyrics makes for a cathartic listening experience.

the "mellow" voice of Sleater-Kinney can really belt it out! Maybe Carrie should sing lead more often?
