"Two piece rock band from Sydney that have been impressing audiences over the course of 2008 and 2009 with their energetic, simple rock show.
Taking a page from the The White Stripes with a female drummer and male guitarist/singer, the comparison to the The White Stripes stop there.
With sound more similar to old The Vines (back when they were drunk and good) this 4 track Ep really packs a punch.
Short, punchy, in your face songs to get the head banging and the toes tapping. For me the highlight is 'Bring Me Down'."

"With up to 30 singles arriving each week, sometimes the decisions to review certain titles comes down to unjustifiable logic. Cool artwork, a snappy press release and smart images might be all it takes to catch the eye of a frantic reviewer looking for the next disc to spin. The reason The Vignettes were picked out of the pile was the most erroneous ever: I used to have a crush on their PR rep back when I was seven and she was dancing about in sequins and spandex on iconic ‘80s program Young Talent Time. As for The Vignettes, the male/female Sydney duo hark back to Eddie Cochran basics with their frantic garage rock sound. Some great NYC howls and low-end basslines ensure they evade too many White Stripes comparisons, with the rough and dirty result being about as far removed from a squeaky clean 1988 YTT recording of The Miracle Of Love as you can get."
