notes

This fierce, fearsome schoolhouse-rock quartet mixes pretty pop and heavy space-rock with wild abandon. One fan sums up the new record with the mandatory what's-yer-cross of Sonic Youth meets the B-52's, and that suits 3GT just fine. Yes, Sabrina really is a third grade teacher, and Laura, David and Rob also have the power and authority to discipline your ass.

Third Grade Teacher Reveals the Secrets of the Universe is the band's newest and best album. No kidding.

"Third Grade Teacher is heavy, except when they're pretty and sweet, or when they're playing rock anthems, or when the birdcall vocals enter, then you're not sure what's going on any more, except that it's right. Third Grade Teacher writes songs that, after a couple of listens, you seem to have known for years. Except when they're so goddamn heavy you simply beg for more pummeling. They have respect for the classic order of hook, riff, and pop structure, but bend it to suit their mutant vision, where every genre is seized by the throat and made to serve them, the Roman Empire of anthem rock."
-- Nicholas Johnson, author of BIG DEAD PLACE: Inside the Strange & Menacing World of Antarctica

    I first heard of Third Grade Teacher on Soundbreak.com. I got a chance to see them perform in L.A., and have been a fan. I finally got a chance to buy this CD and haven't been disappointed. What a way to rip up speakers and rattle windows! And I wish I was still in the third grade so I could have Sabrina as my teacher. Boy, I'd try to be a naughty boy all the time!

    This CD was in my car at #1 for weeks after the band gave it to me. I first saw them at the Bottom of the Hill in SF in '98, opening for a friends band, and have been watching the trajectory of their career ever since. Seriously underrated as a band, they are amazing live, blew me away so much that I was reduced to smoking cigarettes outside the venue with the booking agent of the club within viewshot during the show because they kicked so much ass. Smitten like a kitten. Too bad they are on hiatus (sabattical) because their drummer moved and had a child. they deserve to be rock stars.

    The teacher has once again proven they are top in their class with this beautifully produced release of new material. They show their songwriting chops with several different styles that compliment and delightfully subvert each other in the playlist. The Teacher is still best live, but Dave has learned how to maximize that feeling on their studio records without offending the audiophiles out there. Great job, teacher! But when are gonna get a re-mix of 'Compton'??

    If Brian eno produced the slits it would sound like this. The underlying throbbing overcut by the singing like the vocal cords are being ripped out manually and all I can think is I wish i was in your class.
