On Fist City's debut album 'Hunting You', they skillfully cross-stitch different eras of punk to create a uniquely captivating sonic assault. There's definitely a late 70's UK DIY vibe running through these grooves that resonates through the entire album. On 'Hunting You' Fist City exceptionally fuse the agitated, post punk grit of bands like the Desperate Bicycles and the Raincoats with an acid soaked take on the Vaselines, Shop Assistants-style downer pop. And Kirsten’s bellowing, sultry voice adds a doomy, pop-contaminated bliss to create uniquely mesmerizing post punk magic. Solid sounds from Canada and there’s no way that Fist City doesn’t have more than a few early 90's riot grrl records in their collective collections. As they channel the early 90's cling-clang of bands like Huggy Bear, Bratmobile, Bikini Kill and Slant 6 perfectly. Lotta great stuff coming out of Lethbridge these days and Fist City are definitely one of the best
