“Boredom and alcohol met and got along too well.” It is that lyric that begins the story of CHEAP GIRLS. Boy gets fed up with losing at life. Boy smokes and drinks himself to dire ends. Boy picks up guitar and writes some songs. Boy suffers. Art flourishes. And so goes the Lansing, Michigan trio’s appropriately titled Find Me A Drink Home. With a supreme knack for pop song craft and a penchant for guitar rock, Cheap Girls is making one hell of a mixed drink on their debut full-length.
On the surface, Cheap Girls’ Find Me A Drink Home seems fairly innocent. However, it is what lies beneath the surface that truly gives the band’s debut full-length a life all its own. These songs reveal such subtlety and depth as they explore the nuances of life. Vocalist/lyricist Ian Graham weaves poetic and humorous tales of bitterness and defeat, of loneliness and depression. Graham’s lyrics float by like a coherently drunken conversation that you truly never want to end.
Find Me A Drink Home is the album playing as you wake up to reality slapping you in the face after a week-long binger. It is a dizzy, yet glorious journey full of songs that burrow their way deep down. Cheap Girls might not have all the answers or even remember the conversation in the morning, but Find Me A Drink Home is the sound of finding your way. And at every hopeful turn you get the feeling that happiness might be around that next fleeting corner after all.
Cheap Girls is Adam Aymor (guitar), Ben Graham (drums, vocals), and Ian Graham (vocals, bass guitar, and acoustic guitar).
