  1. 9.5 |   The 405

    The best degenerate teen gay sex heartbreak party record you'll hear this year and if you don't like it, you don't like any sort of music or fun
    Read Review

  2. 9.0 |   God Is In The TV

    A thrilling ride through the bumpy years of formative dalliances
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   NME

    It's the barefaced, half-assed charm that makes it so dreamy
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   DIY

    It’s the Shangri-Las lovingly repackaged as gay garage
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   The Fly

    Ten tracks of sweetly grotty and crash-bangingly catchy smooch-music
    Read Review

  6. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    There is real sorrow and feeling amongst all the fun
    Read Review

  7. 8.0 |   AU Review

    Hunx And His Punx actually fit really well into the US west coast lo-fi scene despite literally being hairdresser music (they run a salon)
    Read Review

  8. 7.2 |   Pitchfork

    [A] vintage greaser girl-group vibe
    Read Review

  9. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    The concept is wonderful—a girl group with a gay man leading them—but it works best when the song can back it up
    Read Review

  10. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Garagey girl-group-pop songs
    Read Review

  11. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Sonically speaking, Hunx And His Punx have hit on an essentially ‘vintage’ sound without being terribly authentic
    Read Review

  12. 7.0 |   Blurt

    They don't play with a whole lot of instrumental flash, which should appeal both to fans of raw punk and '60s pop
    Read Review

  13. 7.0 |   Rave Magazine

    A perfect antidote to the seriousness and respectability of mainstream gay culture right now
    Read Review

  14. 6.0 |   Slant Magazine

    The songs are, for the most part, very sharp
    Read Review

  15. 6.0 |   Bowlegs

    Succeeds in merging punk with a real retro, rock ’n’ roll vibe: light on its feet, and occasionally heavy in its heart
    Read Review

  16. 6.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Yet again provide a fresh take on the first generations of rock and roll, executed with tact and sparkle
    Read Review

  17. 6.0 |   Q

    They inhale the fumes of the Ramones and the Modern Lovers. Print edition only

  18. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Can seem more like a cabaret act than a band. Print edition only

  19. 5.0 |   A.V. Club

    Long on attitude and short on memorable melodies
    Read Review

  20. 4.0 |   Prefix

    These new songs are as fundamentally adolescent as anything found on Gay Singles. They’re just a lot less fun
