Product Description
Product Details
Performer Notes
  • Girls Against Boys: Scott McCloud (guitar, vocals); Eli Janney (samples, vocals, bass); Johnny Temple (bass); Alex Fleisig (drums).
  • Recorded at Oz Studios, Baltimore, Maryland in February 1993.
  • When Washington, D.C.'s SoulSide closed up shop, three-fifths of the band mutated into a darker, sexier beast as Girls Against Boys. Their second album, 1993's VENUS LUXURE NO. 1, introduced many to their unique sound. Though still powered by the might of rhythmic post-hardcore, their songs glistened like a lounge lizard's hair cream with the swagger of a pickup artist. Singer Scott McCloud's gritty voice imparts seductions and threats while the pummeling dual bass crawls along like fingers slowly drifting down a silk stocking. "Satin Down" lurches through dark alleys with death-march drums and a droning guitar building in subtle menace, while the fuzzy "Let Me Come Back" throws its weight around like a train full of hobos. Through it all, however, VENUS LUXURE manages to be attractive and heroic despite all the lurid trappings.
Professional Reviews
Magnet (p.106) - "GVSB's sophomore disc plugs the group's fast-and-louche style into a set of songs finally worthy of their creepy charisma."

Melody Maker (9/11/93, p.30) - "...VENUS LUXURE comes whistling through the air at you in a slo-mo bloodthirsty blur and proceeds to pound your cranium into sawdust..."

NME (Magazine) (10/9/93, p.39) - 6 - Good - "...the musical moods [on VENUS LUXURE NO. 1 BABY] are almost universally dark, although sly lyrical humor saves shuddering doomfests like `Learned It' from premature burial..."
