The Hussy @ Mickey's Tavern from Ryan Heraly, Manic Eye Media on Vimeo.

"...Despite the torrid pace, Cement Tomb never feels rushed. It bolts everything together with an overbearing sense of playfulness, and if The Hussy wrote a really great garage rock record, then the band is the last to know. But Cement Tomb really is an impressive collection of choice rock ’n’ roll nuggets. It flashes both a wild ambition and a hyperactive means of tackling it, and it needs to be played over and over again—not just because it ends too soon, but because it hardly ever needs to end at all."

"Just when we were starting to think the world didn't need another retro-tinged garage band, the Hussy come along and prove the world needs at least one more. Having cranked out five less-than-full-lengths since 2009, guitar/voxist Bobby Hussy and drummer/voxist Heather Sawyer dropped their first 13-track oeuvre this past April. Featured tracks include "Sexi Ladi" and "Pushin' My Luck," two rare examples of raunchiness emerging from the Land of Cheese. Meanwhile, "Have a Say" might as well be a Jay Reatard tribute song."

"Best band going in Wisconsin right now? I've dug their work on singles so far (and the Little Slutzz side-project), but they distance themselves a little further from the folk and bubblegum sounds that seem to be a dime a dozen in WI these days here. Trickdick says they're the best band from Madison since Killdozer. Could be right. But the who the fuck else is from Madison anyway? In the past they honestly reminded me of The Drags when their girl/guy vocal give-n-take works really well and wild, and they also bring to mind first-wave Ripoffers like the Statics, Spoiled Brats and others, but with more chops and less cartoons. What I really love here is they remind me of when Wisconsin was a hotbed of garage-punk, and the title of the LP even pays tribute to the Catholic Boys, who were the head of that class. They blow through some Oblivians-esque cuts, some Sexareenos-ish party dancers, and really find their footing on "Demon Claus". The B-Side wades deeper, with some more detail in the songwriting and less debts to the Crypt roster. "Oh No", "Lymes", "Have A Say" are just straight rock'n'roll that I believe even the mighty Richard Adventure would approve of. Bobby plays a mean guitar and you'll never remember they're a two-piece as these recordings sound loud and full and leave nothing lacking. Twelve cuts, with only a few duffers and a good bit of attitude that will please any card-carrying garage turkey. A lot of records from WI have bummed me out lately, and this isn't one of them. Bonus points for playing at 45rpm.(RK)"

"While we’re stoked that the Isthmus was fertile with sonic weirdos like Peaking Lights, Exurbs, and Julian Lynch this year, sometimes we just need a hissing dose of brain-prodding rock ’n’ roll—a niche The Hussy fills proudly. After a few years of scattered EPs and countless ear-mangling live sets, 2011 was the year the Madisononian trash-rock duo finally compressed Bobby Hussy’s (literally) flaming guitar, stage dives, and blasting feedback with Heather Hussy’s punished drum kit and sass-powered vocals into the duo’s first full-length, Cement Tomb Mind Control. Whether with its sugary swing on “Wrong/Right” or its bitter blast on “Odd Duck,” CTMC packs a crimson-aura of buzzing overdrive and raw cool."
- The Onion's AV Club - Best of 2011 List

"The Hussy are a Madison-based boy/girl duo who play no-frills garage rock with a sense of urgency and lack of restraint that is downright refreshing. With a string of 7-inches under their collective belt, the band has recently gone full-length with Cement Tomb Mind Control, and while it’s always tempting to fall back on comparisons to established duos, the crumbs of the record that I’ve been fed suggest a sound far closer to, say, the Stooges or something accidentally omitted from Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965-1968, than any stripes or keys that might come to mind."
- My Old Kentucky Blog

"This awesome slab of two person trash genius is guaranteed to cause mass Huss-teria at your high school dance, book club, circle jerk, PTA meeting, rumble, yoga class, or any other gathering where you are ready to get things batshit out of control. Best thing created in Wisconsin since they constructed the turrets on the Mars' Cheese Castle."
- Roctober

"Madison, Wisconsin’s fiercest guitar/drums duo finally make their biggest, boldest statement with this infectious LP full of noisy punk scuzz. It’s brash, it’s bratty, and it’s unbelievably catchy. From opener “I’m Me” to closer “Pushin’ My Luck” The Hussy do not let up and are unrelenting in their punishment. I’m surprised their instruments still exist with the levels of abuse they take. Cement Tomb Mind Control is a pure punk sugar-rush. The call-and-response vocals, the endless riffing, the attitude- it all comes together to create a unified whole that’s ridiculously fun and completely worthwhile. If this band’s not on your radar yet, make the proper adjustments."

"Good trash garage band from Madison, Wisconsin. No stupid zombie infatuation blues riffs, or heavy fakery. Goofy male/female singing, loud guitars, great songs."
- Goner Records 

"The Hussy are a Boy-Girl noise band from Madison in the US, "Cement Tomb Mind Control" sounds like garage fuzz, surf trash and lo-fi punk of the highest level ... killer debut and one of the best albums of the year for sure. For fans of Sex Beet, Ty Segall, Black Lips etc ..."
- Audiopleasures

In many reviews I’ve written, I’ve complained that albums don’t capture the power—the essence of a band—and that the live performance is often much stronger. If you’ve seen The Hussy, you know how much of a madman guitarist/vocalist Bobby is and probably think there’s no way that energy can be captured on record. Not so with Cement Tomb Mind Control. This record not only sounds like the band live but grabs you by the hips and makes you swing. Lo-fi and blown out but staying just to the right side of complete chaos. The drums sound great considering how noisy Heather plays (lots of ride and crash). “Sexi Lady” and “Oh No” are my two favorites.
- Razorcake (Review by Sal Lucci)

"Have been giving this full length, Cement Tomb Mind Control a listen for the past couple of days and those early singles just hinted at this blown out echo to death sound that starts in from the first track, "I'm me". It got me thinking about this title, which could be the title of a Japanese Ed Wood horror movie, the Hussy have a fun, do whatever it takes spirit that equals completely rocking out this high energy, punk-garage. The vocals are distorted, the drums are explosive...this had to be mixed and mastered right on that line of fuzz, and often times right over it. But that's what makes it feel live...they obviously are at home on stage at full volume, leaving trails of motion in any still photo...and they captured this on the record. It's not easy to get that sense of space and more importantly the performance. Heather and Bobby's back and forth vocal on any given track is what takes this beyond a traditional garage sound, it's the lyric sound of a duo along with the instrument interaction. They're both accomplished and half pushing each other to make this next one a little shorter, a little faster, and I'm going to get to the chorus first...no I am."
- 7 Inches Blog

"The Hussy is a power duo hailing from the great land of Madison, Wisconsin. They just released their debut record, Cement Tomb Mind Control (a defunct venue somewhere in Wisconsin), via Slow Fizz Records, a fresh new label with two impressive records under their belts. Cement Tomb Mind Control is short, loud, and sticks like gum under a desk lost in some highschool. The best way to explain it all kind of makes it sound like meth; “Stupid-sweet rock n roll that will get in yr head and rot yr teeth with its sugar sweet melodies and fierce guitars.” While every track on Cement Tomb Mind Control is garage pop perfection, we’re sharing the one of the opening tracks, Babychild, a track that immediately made Cement Tomb Mind Control of one the best records of the year. Heather Hussy is absolutely killer on this track, her vocals so intense you, can’t even handle it. And just as soon as she gives it a break, there’s a killer guitar part and then it’s all over. It’s short-lived raging pop bliss. Since we love this record too much, you should check out some tracks streaming on their bandcamp."

"I’ve gone on record as saying that one of the things i will miss least about the 00’s is two-person bands ((ESPECIALLY mixed-gender two-person bands)), but there is enough stuff i like here for me to consider The Hussy as the harbinger of the Next Big Thing ((mixed gender two-person bands, yay!)) as opposed to the last dregs of last Next Big Thing That Was ((mixed gender two-person bands, ick!)). The frequent spatial loneliness my eardrums often feel at the hands of two-person bands is anticipated and often counteracted by fairly frequent guitar/tambourine/etc. overdubs, and the performance and songwriting plows a swank trench somewhere between Shannon & The Clams and what Davila 666 songs might sound like if they were played by a two-person duo consisting of a male guitarist and female drummer ((hmm…no examples come to mind)) and sung in Wisconsinese, in which i am reputedly fluent. I recommend you pick up a copy for personal use; nobody likes someone who’s down with Other People’s Hussy! BEST SONG: “Wrong/Right” BEST SONG TITLE: Maybe “Odd Duck?” FANTASTIC AMAZING TRIVIA FACT: The little superscript crosses that are used in place of asterisks on the back cover have been cleverly inverted."
- Razorcake (Review by Rev. Norb) 

"Cement Tomb Mind Control begins with a raucous scream. It’s a sign of what’s to come – a catchy, intense album that comingles the fuzzy, homegrown garage sound that we love and the spirit of rock n’ roll. Each track is short and sweet and you can tell they’re having just as much fun playing them as you’re having listening. Stand out tracks include “Babychild,” “Brown Eyes” and “Odd Duck”. The album is short – just 21 minutes – but it sticks stubbornly inside of your head for days. Within this short time, The Hussy steams through several different sounds all with the same expert precision and reckless abandon of a band that’s been around for years. Their impressive repetoire of sound covers garage, surf, punk, and more. In short, all I want to do is party with The Hussy!"
- Get Bent!

"The Hussy come from Madison, Wisconsin and play garagey punk with a fair bit of 60s influence. And they are awesome. I love everything about this record. I love the retro spiral artwork on the cover and I love the quirky lo-fi production (check out the craziness on 'Have a Say'. Makes me think of Bubble Bobble on the Commadore 64!). I love that they make loads of crazy spelling mistakes in the liner notes, presumably for no other reason than to amuse themselves. Most of all though, I love the songs. To say there are only two of them in the band, The Hussy do a pretty good job of thrashing out thirteen trashy, minimalist two-minute pop songs. Their songs flit between angsty up-tempo punk such as 'I'm Me', to more poppy doo-wop laden tracks like 'Sexi Ladi', and then cover everything in between.  From the opening track, I found The Hussy to be instantly likeable, so much so that I was singing along to this record on the first listen (not a lie - although admittedly there is a lot of 'Oh-oh'ing so it's not too challenging). When it got to midway throught the b-side I was bouncing around the room (again, not a lie - I must have looked like a right tit. Still, it was fun, and I'll probably end up doing the same thing on the next listen). Then, in a little over 20 minutes, it was over! Short, but still incredibly satisfying. Quite simply, this record is a lot of fun. Fun fun fun. Will it have the staying power for me to come back to it in a couple of years? I don't really care. Right now, I've just found the soundtrack to my summer and it's got a wicked-ass blue spiral on the front. "

"Gots to keep up the snottiness quotient in our air sound, and with this 12″ 45 spinner waiting less than 10 seconds to tell the gentle listener to “go fuck yrself” all systems seem to be go. The Hussy are Bobby and Heather, outta Madison, WI and right into the collective underground garage (that, let’s be honest, is getting a might crowded). Songs have a manic theme park energy; rollercoaster drums, bumper car guitars and reverbed carney vox. Some of the odder moments save the day, tweaky whistling, phone messages, voices twist tuned to galactic echoes, wire-tapping taverns, they all help a lot, for despite the initial f-bomb, the rest of the album rocks with as much convention as conviction. I gather they are aiming for In the Red which is dandy, but there’s a seed here that could push ‘em past that into white hot creativity."
- KFJC (Los Altos, California)

"...Cement Tomb is an expansive palate of garage rock stylings, but what's most impressive is its consistency. While diverse in scope, Cement Tomb stays true to the band's central voice and aesthetic. Wegner and Sawyer seemingly traverse the landscape of garage rock from the comfort of their own living room. It's the sign of a band comfortable with its own sound—they don't have to change themselves to change their songs. That bodes well for the Hussy in the future, but it bodes even better for the greater Midwest."
- The Daily Cardinal

"Madison boy/girl guitar/drum duo the Hussy turn it up to 11 to shout their quick-playing anthems. Their catalog is loud and full of distortion and feedback, alternating singers and never letting up on the tempo as they crank out garage-punk bangers. After four short-play releases in two years, they hit the road on a mini-release tour in support of their first full-length, Cement Tomb Mind Control."
- City Pages (Minneapolis)

"It's pure punk, garage or whatever. No nonsense music that takes me back to 1977 whilst remaining right here and now. Turn up to eleven on your amp."
- Beehive Candy

"The local duo's debut LP took almost three years to release. While the band initially turned heads with their wild, warp-speed live show, this recording is a testament to their hard work offstage. With only one song over two minutes long, the album is an accurate representation of their hyperactivity. "Baby Child" conjures memories of the White Stripes in one blissful minute, while "Sexi Ladi" buzzes and fizzes like a 1960s classic, complete with ooh-aah vocals and lyrics about hand-holding. Meanwhile, the snotty gem "Odd Duck" channels the Ramones, making you want to sing and dance as you give a good friend — or mortal enemy — the bird."
- The Isthmus

"When I think of music that I want to listen to during the dead heat of summer, my mind naturally drifts towards scuzzy garage rock. I want something that I can blast in the car with the windows down and my arm hanging lazily out the window. The kind of music that has the rear view mirror vibrating when I look up. Thankfully, The Hussy have given me that with their new album Cement Tomb Mind Control. The tracks by this Wisconsin band are short, concentrated bursts of pure summer heat. It’s that same type of radiation that hits you in the face when you open the car door on a particularly hot day. The music is brash, loud, and will tickle the hairs on the inside of your ears. Fans of Ty Segall and Woven Bones will find alot to love here."
- Cactus Mouth

"...It’s twenty minutes of loud rock that presents itself as repetitively simple, although closer attention reveals more depth, both lyrically and in the layers of distortion."

"Lo, some basement slop'n'bop from wild Wisconsin duo, the Hussy...quick, catchy, & (natch) pretty damn trashy, their LP Cement Tomb Mind Control lays down some party licks and a crazed vibe that really clicks, provin' it don't take an army of musicians to get yer rear to into party gear!...these kids are the sound of teenage garagepunk fun, get ya some!"
- Raunchy Noise!

"...The demonic duo's LP Cement Tomb Mind Control (via Slow Fizz Records) is one crude, spiky, petulant son of a bitch that just doesn't know how to quit. Led by Bobby Hussy (the man behind Kind Turkey Records) and Heather Hussy, The Hussy are all about the scuzziest garage that you can find, and infusing it with enough diffident sleaze that you will get infected just by association. However, dont go thinking these are uppity cool fucks - no, they are a lovely duo from Madison, Wisconsin that just love to make fun, loud garage rock, and for that Im in love with them - even if they have given me a vast quantity of STI's. They don't linger either - its hot and sweaty action from start to finish, then they love you and leave you...but always with the promise of more good times. And that is all a little rock whore like me needs really...These guys have played with a shitload of my favourite bands too - Black Lips, Woven Bones, Monotonix, Thomas Function, Heavy Times and Sic Alps... Nice work. Lastly, Bobby Hussy admits that there is a heavy dosage of Ty Segall influence on the album - and as you should have picked up over the past months, that 23 year old is the shit on Planet Masala, so consider me a fully fledged Hussy!"
- Sonic Masala

"These short and catchy songs (“Wrong/ Right”) get right to the point without wasting any time, proving these guys know exactly what sound they’re going for and seemingly achieve their goals without ever breaking a sweat. Songs tend to start somewhat easy and then suddenly spiral out of control, much like their cover art illustrates, usually with blazing solos or an enormous guitar hook."
- Styrofoam Drone (Philadelphia, PA)

"The most striking thing about Cement Tomb Mind Control is the length. I originally thought my download had corrupted and not completed correctly. Nope, this really is a thirteen song, twenty-one minute romp. Bobby Hussy and Heather Sawyer are the duo in question, blazing through their guitar ‘n drum garage dust storm with total reckless abandon. The scuzzy, lightning bolt riffs are met with pounding drums and punk sing-along melodies. Sawyer and Hussy hurl harmonies at the wall and come up with some catchy material, most notably the infectious “Sexi Ladi.” These songs are brazenly straightforward; they virtually all fall under the ol' “if you’ve heard one song, you’ve heard them all” mantra, which works when you’re just ripping through hooks at warp speed for twenty minutes..."

"Madison guitar/drum, boy/girl duo The Hussy are no stranger to WMSE’s airwaves — their singles and 7″s have heavily populated our Local Lunchbox segments and unsurprisingly so; The Hussy’s energy and hard-hitting garage rock sound is the epitome of youthful energy, full of unapologetic smarts. Bobby Hussy and Heather Sawyer are even more eagerly stepping it up for a brand new release, Cement Tomb Mind Control, on Slow Fizz Records, which showcases their penchant for sub-two minute songs and a straightforward style."
- WMSE - Sonic Diet (Milwaukee, WI)

"...A hodgepodge of various garage rock styles fill up this record’s 13 tracks, but when it comes down to it they all carry a consistent sense of brash enthusiasm, making the motor-heavy songs mix with the more surf-inspired and making even the slowest of its songs seem fast. Despite being composed of little two minute or less snippets, Cement Tomb still manages to come off as a polished full-length, never seeming half assed or too quick to the finish line. The snarls from both members of this guy-girl two piece are nasally, reckless and chock full of sass."
- Reviewsic

"“Demon Claus” breaks the Hussy mold set in the first four songs of Cement Tomb.  A bit lighter on the fuzz and not quite as into the red, this song ditches the fast-paced, upbeat pop of “Sexi Ladi,” and welcomes all things dark, both in the subject matter and the Jay Reatard by way of Electric Prunes approach to garage. Both members of this Madison duo bring equally powerful vocals and song writing chops to this LP.  Though Cement Tomb Mind Control lags a bit near the middle with songs like “Pavement” and “Oh No” not quite carrying as much weight as songs like “Have a Say” or “I’m Me,” it’s definitely one of the best releases so far this year."

"Formerly of the Madison band Cats Not Dogs, Robert Wegner and Heather Sawyer now form the nucleus of energetic, grungy speed-rock band The Hussy. Wegner's shredding guitar sections echo the sentiments of Sawyer's thrashing drum fills as both members belt out raucous lyrics at their noisy and chaotic—yet astoundingly synchronous—live shows."
- Shepherd Express 

"Ever felt like screaming a big FUCK YOU to the world & it's bull shit? That's what terrifically terrible twosome The Hussy have been doing with their music, so if you need a soundtrack to your FUCK OFF session, look no further. In a world full of over-produced, over-thought, over-played crap, the music made by Bobby and Heather of The Hussy, from Madison, Wisconsin, USA, is the antithesis of all that. The mission of The Hussy: to get you off your ass & get you to have a good time. Short and simple songs that never stop rocking out hard have made me fall in complete love with every single song I've heard from The Hussy. Alternating between sweet and screwed up, this is trashed-out, super catchy and fun garage rock you will love."
- Dirty Sexy Karma

"Man, this thing roars out of the garage like a ’69 Fastback, splintering the door and hitting top speed before the shards hit the driveway. What follows is a breakneck joy ride through a neighborhood where 60s pop nuggets hang out in basements with today’s garage/punk bangers, hoisting cans of Old Style in the name of good-time rock ‘n’ roll. Yet for all of its relentless intensity, this thing also delivers variety and texture, and its raw, lo-fi immediacy is fleshed out with subtle production flourishes. Delivering 13 songs in just 21 minutes, it plays a bit like the garage/punk answer to GBV’s indie-rock touchstone, Alien Lanes, in that the songs start and stop in the heart of a fuzzed-out melody, and like Bob Pollard, Bobby Hussy knows his way around an infectious riff. And with a lean, mean backbeat courtesy of Heather Sawyer–who also shares vocal duties–driving its muscle-car guitar, Cement Tomb Mind Control, the debut lp from The Hussy, is an album built for repeated spins around the turntable."
- Los Grillos Collective

"Cement Tomb hits hard and often with gritty vocals, scuzzy guitars, and some drum bashing that really does a fantastic job of keeping you moving.  The sound is dirty, but there's no denying the urge to want to sing (yell?) and bounce along to the hook-filled beauty.  The raucous, vintage sound is enhanced in all the right places with sprinkles of surf jangle and metallic guitar that add just the right touch to the overall driving sound of the record.  It's like bits of sweet candy inside of garage fuzz wrapping.  'Wrong/Right' and 'Sexy Ladi' are two of my favorites that Bobby was kind enough to give the thumbs up to share with all of you.  Don't let your experience with The Hussy end with these two tracks."

"Could’ve sworn Cement Tomb Mind Control was the name of a Man Is The Bastard song, and if it’s not, it should be, but in the meantime, that’s what The Hussy have called their new long-player. They’re a two piece garage rock-n’-roller unit, and pretty much offer what you’d expect from one of those in 2011 – rambunctious, guitar-fueled rock with a Killed By Nuggets charm. The opener “I’m Me” reminds me of Ivan & The Executioners’ “I Wanna Kill James Taylor”, at least in the vocal doofiness and rag-tag riffing, which you know is a shining recommendation if you’ve heard it. The rest of the album reminds me of the Rip Off Records singles that Jack White and Jay Reatard have filed in their collections through the years..."

"If you like ‘em old punk/power-pop tunes short, you like The Hussy. This Wisconsin duo exist by creating bursts of energy that truly makes you want to click that replay button over (or pick up the needle on the record player, if that is your thing). I’ve been loving “Sexi Ladi”…replaying the crap out of it! It brings me back to the days last year when I heard Cum Stain’s self-titled. The music is recorded brash and loud and for me that is something I really love in an album. “Alright…peace…bro!” Really digging the dual vocals on “Pavement” and the sweet end jamming on “Have A Say”. Contemporary[ish] bands that have a similar aesthetic would be Ty Segall mayne, pre-Jay Reatard Jay Reatard (sup, “Lymes”), ’02/’03 Black Lips (“Pushin My Luck), Dirtbombs in the 9tees. All excellent frames of reference."

"March is the cruelest month.  We lay lax in a dead land, mixing memories and desire, dully stirring troops under a three-day spring rain.  Winter kept up, covering the Earth in regretful snow, feeding a little life through the boob-tubes and itunes.  The only thing that’s surprised us, is The Hussy, and their debut album, Cement Tomb Mind Control, due out 28th of April on Slow Fizz Records. The burnished drum throne Heather Sawyer sits in, where basement cymbals break like glass, and double the essential I-don’t-give-a-fuck flame. “Babychild,” lurked in strange synthetic fumes for a brisk minute.  The track is urgent, empowered, and troubled.  The entire 21 minute album is rude and unforced, filled with the “jug-jug” of lo-fi recording, and the savage thrill of distorted coils. Another great moment on the album is “Pushin’ My Luck,’ which is a track for us rats in the alley.  Simple, not-so-elegant, not-so-intelligent, but simply rushing on to the record as it is, with it’s hair down.  The track is what the thunder said, and has been saying for the past three, miserable days in Southeastern Wisconsin. O.K., enough Eliot.  Get this record on April 28th, and go to the record release show at Cactus Club on May 7th (The Hussy, The Midwest Beat, and The Wheels of Fire will all be in attendance)."
- Seizure Chicken

The Hussy are good catchy rock n roll as its always been meant to be played.  throw some nuggets-era garage rock in the mix with 70s punk and you start to get the idea of what they're all about. The Hussy  have a stripped down two piece vibe that keeps any unnecessary excess away from yr ears, yep no unwanted keyboards or untalented band members here.  the focus is melodic songs that keep you humming long after the song is done..... these guys would've been very at home on sympathy for the record industry if the label was still going."

"The Hussy es la última sensación del Garage-Rock venida desde Wisconsin. The Hussy son Bobby y Heather Pussy y desconozco si son hermanos o no. Están avalados por Kind Turkey Records (garantía de calidad en Pop-Punk) y por Slow Fizz Records, para quien han grabado este álbum de debut. The Hussy son un dúo incendiario que tan sólo con la fórmula guitarra-batería (ecuación muy repetida desde los tiempos de White Stripes) facturan un sonido realmente brutal, enérgico y altamente vitaminado, más cercanos a los Jon Spencer Blues Explosion que al dúo de Jack White. The Hussy no tienen reparo en subir al máximo el volumen del overdrive para empaquetar una serie de temas son de estructura garajista clásica, aunque lo que realmente engancha y estimula son sus actuaciones en vivo, y no por casualidad la banda tiene un calendario de lo más apretado durante este comienzo de verano."
- The Janglebox

"Cement Tomb Mind Control : 13 morceaux 21 minutes. Sans fioritures, le rock de The Hussy ne s'embarrasse pas de préliminaires, on passe directement à l'accouplement. Sauvage le cas présent. Venus de Madison dans le Wisconsin, Bobby Hussy et Heather Sawyer font donc parler la poudre. L'avantage de produire des pistes aussi courtes c'est que le duo peut aller directement à l'essentiel et éviter ainsi de gâcher une piste par un riff ou un couplet de trop. L'inconvénient c'est que si aucune lassitude ne guette sur la durée d'un morceau, la formule peut vite devenir redondante sur la durée d'un album. The Hussy évite cet écueil en offrant un album court mais aussi, et même surtout, en distillant des riffs incendiaires et des mélodies imparables. Ainsi sur des bases garage punk, le duo trouve toujours le petit truc qui fait la différence : le riff de "I'm Me", la gouaille d'Heather sur "Babychild", le retro fifties "Sexi Ladi" avec sa guitare jangly, le plus posé "Demon Claus", le folk déglingué façon Oh Sees de "Pavement", "Have A Say" qu'aurait pu écrire Ty Segall ou "Pushin' My Luck" sont ainsi de vraies réussites. Le groupe fait preuve d'une réelle maîtrise technique et d'un talent certain pour emballer des hymnes garage que beaucoup de groupes rêveraient d'écrire et ce malgré les limites imposées par la formule du duo. A l'heure où le regretté Jay Reatard nous a quitté (R.I.P.), l'écoute de ce Cement Tomb Mind Control fait énormément de bien et rassure : l'héritage est réel et entre de bonnes mains."
