Popmatters: Lovesong Werewolves by The Evil Queens

The Evil Queens moved from Addison Records to local label Sunken Treasure to release their third and what would end up being their final album in 2007, Lovesong Werewolves. Here is part of a review by Popmatters from 2007:

With three previous albums under their belts, a distinct lack of fluffy ballads, and full-blown bar band bombast, The Evil Queens' latest, Lovesong Werewolves is chock full of pulsing, chugging guitars that three-chord their way through lo-fi landscapes. Steadfast drumming rolls behind lead singer Jacob Sundermeyer's impassioned alternations between lyrical droning and impassioned screaming. More substance over style, The Evil Queens may find their brand of guitar-heavy, cerebral groove rock that finds its niche with a whiskey-swigging, hipster intellectual crowd.
