"The Girls are in Charge comes storming in like ‘My Sharona’ played by Crud, topped by lyrics
that gives some idea what the Gang of Four might have sounded like if they hadn’t all been nice
boys from good homes..." - Mudkiss
"Girls Are In Charge, an electro glam rocker that sounds like someone turned The Ting Tings
inside out and injected the remains with rocket fuel, is elbowing it's way to the head of an
already overcrowded field for best track of the year." - Best Tuna

"...it is bratty, electro tinged punk rock with great lyrics, and it's strangely catchy." - God Is In The TV
"Brattish Rock n Toy’ll, full of nervy energy, passionate shout outs, glitch toy instrumentation
which would make Bis Blush & Hooks huge enough to demand your attention without asking -
great, great stuff!" - Subba Cultcha
“…like a spasmodic bastard offspring of The Knack’s My Sharona crashing head
on like a lo-fi tribute band for LCD Sound System – brilliant! ” - Buzzin Media
“…shouty, spittle-flecked dissing and electro-punk banditry. Sublime.” - The Times

Bio
Electro-punk rockers What Would Jesus Drive release their debut album in March 2011, though to whet your appetites it can be heard in full and for free from now, on their website. The album mixes high-octane electro indie punk with beautifully crafted indie rock songs, and sprinkles witty dark observational lyrics over the top to deliver a strong, loud, kick arse album.
Black and Blue is preceded by the two EPs: The Girls are in Charge and Fragile Mansions, with the haunting This Skeleton EP following, and it is the culmination of Tim Box (Guitar/Vox) and Aimee Casey's (Bass/Vox) musical journey so far, begun when they were both in indie rockers The Barbs. The end of The Barbs wasn't the end of their infectious sound though as Black and Blue can attest.
Now numbering four, with Gemma Hogan (Decks) and John Newman (Keys/Samples), WWJD have had a hectic schedule, including huge shows with Dirty Pretty Things, The View and The
Drums as well as a storming first appearance at Radio 1’s Big Weekend and causing rumblings in many tastemaker blogs online.
