RewBee is an indie pop
band from New York that started in the spring
of 06. Rew, the lead singer and front woman, is soloing on
this release, although it appears the other members playing do
float in and out of RewBee. Billy Ficca (formerly of the Neon
Boys, Television, Gods and Monsters) is listed as playing drums.
As a vocalist and band
leader, Rew has been compared to Exene Cervenka and Lucinda
Williams. That is, perhaps, apt, for her musical style is quite
diverse, blending, pop, punk, new wave, funk, and country. The
band at times does sound like "X." I especially liked the first
cut of the album, "think about," and the title track.
She also writes poetry and performs at
various NYC art alternative spaces. She was also a part of the
2007 GIRLS ROCK & GIRLS RULE Tour
