Punk. Bits of ska. Three chords. Sometimes melodic, sometimes not. That there is ten words, and they're almost all I have to say about Coquettish's seven-song, nine-minute Total Pops Madness EP. It's okay hardcore punk, nothing special. And yet, I must go on. So I'm just going to lay some random impressions on you. Forgive me if I jump around.

To their credit, Coquettish do write relatively catchy songs, with upstroke guitar surges perfect for pogoing, and 80s-inspired chorus hooks chanted by the entire band. The energy is there and is somewhat infectious, and you can feel yourself rooting for the band as the guitars sometimes struggle to keep up with the drums and vice-versa.
