Reviews

Paper magazine writes "They’re here, they’re queer, and they’re ready to rock. The grrrls in the post-punk Brooklyn band Triple-Crème are not afraid of a little heavy bass or some catchy guitar riffs. They’re also not afraid to kick your ass."[1] Christa Martin of GT Weekly says "This colorful romp in high school antics and edginess is a wild ride of a music video."[2]

Elaine Mak of New England Film said that "award-winning director Leah Meyerhoff has built up a large list of accomplishments as a filmmaker"[3] and Flavorpill writes: "post-punk lez rockers Triple Creme enlisted the brightest and most buoyant of New York's burlesque scene to star in the new music video for their single Team Queen."[4]

gollark: Which is a problem, by the way.
gollark: I bet you made it so you can't terminate *any* program.
gollark: Ah, yes, one line of code, fascinating.
gollark: I mean, with password-lock things you can stick it in a disk drive and read it off, but there's no real way around full disk encryption.
gollark: Well, not all the time, really.
