Vanity Theft has a synth-heavy, beat-dominated sound that isn’t genre specific. The excellent guitar riffs and relevant song lyrics place them out of the “all-female” band category and into the “kick ass” band category. Bassist Lalaine is blunt about her band, saying, “We may have vaginas, but we’re not pussies.”
Their album “Get What You Came For” has some hard driven tracks but a touch too slick on other tracks making them sound over manipulated.
Mark Jenkins of The Washington Post attended a Vanity Theft concert and left unimpressed by the studio to live transition for their music.
“Concert review: Vanity Theft at U Street Music Hall robs punk of its spirit”
On paper, Vanity Theft sounds delightfully incongruous: a young, all-female rock quartet that compares itself to riot grrrl bands and includes a Disney Channel veteran (former “Lizzie McGuire” co-star Lalaine) on bass. But the Vanity Theft that performed Friday evening at the U Street Music Hall had little affinity for Bikini Kill, and no Lalaine. A fresh bassist, introduced by guitarist Brittany Hill as “our new friend Amanda,” joined just in time for this tour, which had started a few days earlier.
