Review:
Norwegian rock band Shirleys Temple‘s Asshole EP is jammed full of pop melodies, big production and a hint of punk sensibilities. They are on a major label in their home country, and there is no wonder — everything on this five song disc is catchy and made for radio.

  “Asshole” is the cream of the crop — I wouldn’t give it many points for originality (sounds like something I’ve heard on the radio before), but it is irresistible and lots of fun. The backup chants of “wooohooo” are a cool sounding background to the chorus vocals on the next two tracks. “Heroine” ends the disc with it’s crunchy guitars and sing-a-long chorus. If ever a band was made for radio, Shirleys Temple is it — they can be found at www.shirleystemple.com
