Two doses of hard swinging '80s new wave boogie from Maine. You can't really tell which direction BRIAN V. is trying to go, but "Coke Princess" has second rate Rat Pack montage oozing from its chords, while the rockabilly flare "Ninja" lands somewhere closer to a Saved By The Bell (outtake) interlude. While it's weird to imagine DIY artists striving for a place alongside THE KNACK or VAPORS until you think that of course there were newer, independent bands reaching for commercial success, and inevitably some of them would have written would-be and should've-been hits that were destined to languish in obscurity. "Coke Princess" is one of those.
The problem is your nose, it couldn't be clearer.
It's either in the air or...on the mirror.
