From the opening seconds of "Maniacal Mechanic", its clear that NYC's Dream Bitches have turned up the volume for their sophomore LP, Coke-and-Spiriters. Pounding drum beats and dirty guitars anchor this treasure of a song. As on their debut, lead Dream Bitches Yoko Kikuchi and Ann Zakaluk deliver pitch-perfect harmonies that cut through the band's new cacophonous sound. Though Coke-and-Spiriters is not all rock and bombast, over the course of the record's ten songs, the band proves that its a force to be reckoned with.
