Captain My Captain

Rolling Stone (6/13/96, p.82) - 3 Stars - Good - "...use bratty power punk as a springboard into broader sounds and ideas....Team Dresch come from a gay perspective....Bleyle's voice sounds prepubescent and boyish at times, then lilting and girlish at others..." Spin (7/96, pp.89-91) - 7 - Flawed Yet Worthy - "...to Team Dresch, the freedom offered by sex and rock'n'roll has less to do with some dream of carefree irresponsibility than with the opportunity to connect with like minds--to choose, in effect, your chains..." Alternative Press (10/96, p.106) - 4 (out of 5) - "...Where the punk foursome excels in is crackling geetar playing...and lyrics that come damn close to manifestoes for the marginalized..." Option (7-8/96, p.136) - "...raw, open emotions are supported by music that often hits with the force of a well-wielded blackjack....those who think they know exactly what to expect from a bunch of dyke-rockers should approach this one with open ears..." Mojo (Publisher) (7/02, p.127) - "...These are kick-ass rockers...who belt empopwering dyke love songs..." Paste (magazine) - "The songs are tighter, the lyrics more outward-facing and the musical dynamics more sophisticated as the band shifts readily between loud and quiet, fast and slow."
