The Jolenes are Sassy Ladies
With saucy rock songs titled “Sugar”, “Ice Cream”, and “Frenchie”, the Jolenes’ second release, Get It To Go, provides this listener with enough sweetener-induced high to last clear through Thanksgiving!
Get It To Go is a rock album for people who like tasty, grunge-induced pop rock. The guitars are dripping with caramel distortion, the vocals are layered in frosting, and the drums are (insert candy here)-licious!
The album satisfies my desire for rock while not making me think too hard. After all, “Ice Cream” is about…well…ice cream. “Frenchie” is about a girl named Frenchie. And you can guess what “Sugar” is about.
It is the simpleness of this record that makes it appealing. It’s nice to relax and listen to an album that whose message is something along the lines of, “Watch out or else I’ll spill my milkshake on you.” Every now and then I need an album like this to calm my nerves before the next Radiohead album is released.

I love this Jolenes album so much. It either makes me spunky or relaxes me, and no matter what, makes me crave sugar and extremely giggly.
