Reviews

Paper Magazine writes "They’re here, they’re queer, and they’re ready to rock. The grrrls in the post-punk Brooklyn band Triple-Crème are not afraid of a little heavy bass or some catchy guitar riffs. They’re also not afraid to kick your ass." [cite web|url=http://www.papermag.com|title=Team Queen in Paper Magazine|accessdate=2007-07-25] and Christa Martin of GT Weekly says "This colorful romp in high school antics and edginess is a wild ride of a music video."
