Pink Mink
:: February 20, 2012 :: by Paige Winston (Music Dept. Staff)
Christy Hunt’s uncanny resemblance to Joan Jett may have been what initially drew me into Pink Mink. Pink Mink is post Runaways Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. The Twin City quartet that is Pink Mink may have all the elements of the Blackhearts, but with an even more powerful bassist— Jacques Wait, who controls the tempo of every song, and makes the bass the most prominent instrument.
Nearly every song is n your face and full of charismatic energy. “Earthquake On
The Loose,” the second track on the album whines to the listener with the reverb kicked up, and the bass line thump-thumping through you. A glam-punk aspect kicks the song off with a catchy yet uncontrollable hook.
The debut from the Minneapolis based group, Pink Mink, has spearheaded glam-punk and indie rock to make it something of their own creation.
