"I thought I had Girl On Top pegged as a pretty good old-school punk band with a charismatic lead singer. But their debut album, Sue Is Sane, reveals a diversity I hadn’t caught before. The sound is raw and guitar-driven throughout, but of the disc’s first five songs, two are sinister midtempo numbers, one’s fractured Rockabillty, one’s an equally fractured Phil Spector girl-group thing, and the fifth (“Who Will It Be”) is built on an odd combination of a trip-hop rhythm and a guitar riff out of Henry Mancini’s “Peter Gun” theme..."

"Two of my favorite bands “The Fall” and “The Pretenders” keep coming to my mind as I listen. Raw vocal power backed by crunching guitar chords, rhythmic drumming, and an angry disposition..."

"...standing on the pinnacle of the local scene, pop-rockers Girl On Top have had their share of little victories in their 10-year existence, including winning a national contest in Modern Drummer Magazine that led to the recording and release of their first CD, “Sue Is Sane" ... “The name isn’t really meant to have an sexual connotations,” says DeBaisse, explaining Girl On Top came from a discussion with the band’s first bass player about whether she or he would take the high part while singing harmony vocals.  Not that DeBiasse is too worried about being misunderstood. Her lyrics can be coyly titillating, as in the song “She’s A Little White Girl In A Little Black Sundress,” or blatantly playing with sexual identity as in “Be With Her.” (“She’s not like all the other boys. When she’s here. I hug and kiss her.”)

 I was quite impressed with Girl On Top by their power and energy. The voice of lead singer Karen DeBaisse sounds a lot like Debbie Harry on the first two tracks and Tanya Donnely on the last one...Girl On Top has offered up this EP and has peaked my interest, leaving me wanting to hear more.

Sue Is Sane. This actually came out on STR Entertainment a few years ago, but lead singer Karen DeBiasse is still working this record and for good reason. It’s a strong, ten-track power pop album with great vocals and a diverse rock sound that won’t bore you. This is a head bopping album, fit for college radio across the US.
