BarlowGirl: Never Alone (live)

On record, I guess, this band of sisters are much like any other indie girl group with punk pretensions (q.v. I Need You to Love Me). Sub-The Like songs and arrangements, with very-sub-Indigo Girls harmonies. Live, however, they seem to be oodles better. Ditching the electric guitar-bass-drums approach for piano and acoustic guitar improves matters immeasurably.

Just don’t go looking at their record covers. It’s like Bewitched all over again.
