On Saturday, I attened the CD release party for Beth in Battle Mode. Having seen them perform a number of times over the last six months I knew a) they would put on a good show and b) the album would be a good one. And they didn't disappoint on either front.
First the album. It contains some of the catchiest songs I've heard in a long while. While "No Feeling" is probably their most recognizable song, "Everyone is in a Band", "Relevant Bangs" and "Fanta" are among my favourites. And I love the sharp artwork with the CD.
As for the show, despite some technical difficulties, it was another excellent show. The Speaking Tongues, who opened for BIBM, were fantastic. BIBM also introduced two new songs "Ikea Sangria" and "Silver Tongue" that look like to be surefire additions to the next album. And the cover of Madonna's "Hung Up" was classic.
To get a copy of the album you can get it at CD Replay (523 Bloor Street West), Criminal Records (493 Queen Street West) or Soundscapes (572 College Street). I recommend you pick up a copy.

Technical difficulties? So much for "technical know-how"! :)
