"...one of the best rock albums of the year. For real." - NPR
"Potty Mouth are expanding the conversation about what it means to be a a forward-thinking feminist band: intentionally crafted but not outwardly political, in touch with the legacy of riot-grrrl but dismissive of lazy comparisons to it." - Stereogum 'Band To Watch'
"...90s-leaning cuts of minimal guitar fuzz and tight, sticky melodies marked by endearing Liz Phair-type monotone...the subtle feminist bent you'd expect from a band named after a Bratmobile record." - Pitchfork
Potty Mouth are all-parts smart-pop craftswomen, specializing in taut, infectious, C-86 influenced indie pop meets '77 punk perfection. The band released their debut 12" vinyl EP, entitled Sun Damage in July 2012, which garnered the attention of Pitchfork, who called the six-song EP an "an impressive, no-filler debut," as well as The New York Times, who called it, "the downer charm of early grunge...excellent." The Boston Globe also named Potty Mouth one of the "top five indie-rock bands to watch in 2013," with BrooklynVegan adding that they were, "one of the most promising new bands in their local scene." Departing from the more angular shades of post-punk heard in their EP, Hell Bent is marked by its significantly heavier production and melancholic hooks. Nonetheless, the album stays true to the confident, youthful punk aesthetic the band has cultivated for themselves.
Potty Mouth have shared the stage with Andrew W.K., The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, Waxahatchee, and more, and recently performed at the New Museum in NYC in conjunction with their exhibit "NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star." The band will return to NYC for performances at CMJ, and will be adding more tour dates through the rest of 2013.
