Throughout the years Hemi Cuda have been together, they have had the pleasure of playing with such bands as: HELL'S BELLES, White Stripes, AGENT ORANGE, The Donnas, GLUECIFER, The Street Walkin’ Cheetahs, THE BELLRAYS, Los Infernos, THE GAZA STRIPPERS, The Forty-Fives, ZEKE, J. Mascis & Mike Watt, and GWAR, amongst others. Sugar and Spice and Something gone terribly wrong…these girls are the alpha bitches of gritty girl rock.

Hailing from Denver, Colorado, Hemi Cuda have had such an incredible response from their debut full length, Classics for Lovers, that the album has been digitally re-mastered and re-released with a bonus track, "FM".

   “Make no mistake: The girls can rock, bangin’ out power chords and fast-action three minute songs while harmonizing about boys and cars…coordinated wardrobes, superhero poses and playful onstage banter makes them a fun band to watch…

   “The Denver trio, led most glamorously by guitarist/lead vocalist Anika Zappe (the Hectics) and bassist/vocalist Karen Exley, has become known as much for its hooker fashion and spaceship hair as for its nearly perfect power punk and tough eroticism. While lots of bands use the notion of sexual empowerment as a gimmick or joke, Hemi Cuda’s feels pretty real. Classics for Lovers (is) a twelve-song gem that leaps out of the speakers like a hot rod in a qualifying round. These are quick blasts…sweet and lethal as good pop songs should be.”  -  The Westword Newspaper, Denver, CO.

   “Two hot blondes in stacked heels with big guitars. What more can a rock guy ask for? This Denver act blends punky sounds and heavy metal thunder to come up with a sound that’s reminiscent of such bashers as L7, early Redd Kross, or the Muffs. Most of these tunes start with a hard and heavy crunchy bass line that could melt the paint of yer Camaro, followed by some punk riff but with a metallic Joan Jett-like hard rock/metal vibe. The tunes reek of sweaty sex and lots o’ beer and drugs and that makes me happy. Pretty cool stuff here for all you hot n’ horny men, or chicks who love to fuck and fight (and not necessarily in that order).  They may not be quite as accessible as The Donnas but I’d bet they’d beat their ass in a streetfight!!!” -  KNAC.com, Pure Rock, Los Angeles, CA.
