Vit.Ri.Fied

Drink in hand, volume raised high, and sad-attempts to sing along with Aluminum Babe - I quickly found myself rocking out on my table top to Vit.Ri.Fied. If I could mix all my favorite sounds from my most-adored female bands, this would have to be it! Not too hard and not too soft, Aluminum Babe knows how to strum that guitar and beat that drum. Anna’s soft but distinctive voice makes Vit.Ri.Fied an easy-to-listen-to album and a quick favorite. This three-person group had my feet tapping, my arms swinging and my head bobbing. Not to mention, the biggest urge to get up on my table and dance! My only disappointment was that they failed to put the lyrics for some of their songs – what made them choose to print some songs and not the others? Nevertheless, what I love most about Vit.Ri.Fied is that the songs don’t sound alike (which many bands fall victim to). Aluminum Babe is quite catchy and refreshing; aside from their punk rock sound, their touch of trance and even some swing makes you want to dance. I thought their use of French in some of their songs was original and made those songs memorable. This band definitely caught my attention in the best way possible – they got my feet moving. Though I was a bit worried when I saw their album cover, which features a young kid staring outside of an airplane window, Aluminum Babe left me reaching for the repeat button. Anna, Jorge and Darren make the perfect match for my girl-rock music needs.
