The Rondelles blast through punk-pop numbers like Joan Jett's indie rock little sister. Their second full-length release for Teen Beat records, The Fox, is a testament to the influence of female-fronted new wave bands from Blondie through the Breeders, and like high school rockers the Donnas they crunch through each song with carefully controlled abandon. Rondelles have crafted a very specific sound that they stick to almost religiously and the album doesn't branch out much from start to finish, but fans of this genre won't mind a bit. The songs blast by quickly, but burners like the halting "Tuesday Rock City" and the gritty "Boy I Know" stand out as brash reminders that grrls rock! ~ Zac Johnson
Critic Reviews

CMJ (11/8/99, p.3) - "...THE FOX boasts more complex, musical arrangements that lose none of the group's initial charm....capturing the nuance and emotion in Juliet Swango's voice, which has always been the act's focal point....a self-assured, femme fatale quality..."
