“A lot of female-fronted punk these days is highly polished and glamorized, monopolized by bands like The Sounds. Not Kleveland. This Oregon-based band is raw, dirty, and straight up punk, and it’s wonderfully refreshing.
…while the style of the music is much more like ‘80s punk – The Clash, Sex Pistols, etc. Add the attitude of The Donnas, and you’ve got Kleveland. Songs like “ESP” and “Sleep At Night” will get fans out of their seats and dancing in no time. ..The
album’s final track, “No Heart, Go Heart” is the closest to a ballad, bordering on pop-rock rather than punk…Smith’s voice is stellar on this track and makes
it an enjoyable closer".
