Album Notes

All Girl Band is one of those unique, spontaneous albums whose charm lies in its brutal confessional appeal.


Channeling something dark and earthy, these provocative songs will make you squirm with their honesty...and any discomfort you feel in listening will make the experience all the more sweet.

Terami's humble voice and quirky melodies are reminiscent of Aimee Mann and Liz Phair with a touch of Tori Amos thrown in for good measure. She cites these artists as inspiration, but her significant piano skills and daring lyrics set her apart from a mere disciple.

When this album was recorded, audiences were just discovering the vicarious thrill of lo-fi, confessional albums. However, Terami didn't know that at the time. She had locked herself in her bedroom with an 8-track over a rainy three day weekend and recorded the entire album. When she emerged, she played what she had to friends who let their jaws drop to the floor. This album is ballsy.

The amateur recording technique adds an innocent and powerful character to the album. The street sounds lend a dirty texture to the songs, but it's the unpolished music that is the most disarming. Terami did not want production to separate her from the listener. She wanted to make the most direct, immediate, and fragile connection possible. And she succeeded.

Terami's first album is fascinating! It's full of very unique "little rainbow bubbles"that we call songs.Inside of each one there is a little world floating and waiting for you to discover...Jump in!..."In every way she'll find out how to upset you"...

An impressive first album!

The music and lyrics are haunting!  After several listening sessions I find myself humming the music and wondering what events triggered such powerful emotions and memories.  A moving autobiographical epic! Definitely  not just girl music.

AGB has all the emotional grab of the kind of promising artists (female and male) that we saw in the early 90s (jeffery gaines, tori amos, jeff buckley, fiona apple)but yet there's something both timely and timeless about this album.   there's a realism to terami's words and how she infuses them vocally with life that you know there's this live, intense being putting it all together out there, and that's why this record has never bored me.  odds are, you'll be taken with it too!

stunning album

Terami Hirsch is a woman, and like most female musicians, will probably get lumped into some silly, non-existent category of "girl music". Music by girls or for girls? This is music, of course socially and culturally created, but whoever sees it just that way completely mises the point. This is amazing.
