Post Punk, Indie Pop

"Nothing here is as twisted as the band's name, let alone anything as painful as the title of their debut album (“Butt Sore”) would suggest. Rare as hens' teeth is a band that succeeds in rocking with humor. Topsy Turvy can, see the summery parasol song “Parasol Song” (“I'm earning lots of compliments for the parasol I got and it makes me smile a lot!”) or ‘Marcelino’, their praise of nail biting (“I'll start biting my nails again / Maybe because I'm hungry / Maybe because I'm bored / Maybe so I can finally play some funky chords”). Even a song called “Possession Depression” indulges in a ‘Lalala’ chorus, and “Dressless”, reportedly a tribute to Viv Albertine from the Slits, has such a cool Marquee Club 1965 at 1am groove that you could almost complain about how deceptively easy Topsy Turvy make it look."
