Bif Naked
Purge (Her Royal Majesty’s/Atlantic)
by Vinnie Apicella
Purge follows up Bif Naked‘s breakthrough album I Bificus. It’s a twelve-track work of vindication by a flighty yet grounded personality that doubles as the teenage tease and the teacher’s assistant. “Choking on the Truth” begins in strong fashion where edgy guitar fills mix with a catchy chorus. “Tango Shoes” is the hands-down pop hit with a New Wave vibe, Bif kicking up a fuss and, lucky for us, the enhanced CD features it as the one of two video clips.
