Alright, so I’ve been wavering on this one for a while.

After mysteriously receiving their single (“Would You Like That?”) in my inbox anonymously two weeks ago, I’ve finally come to the sobering realization: Yes, yes I think I would like that.

This is No Means Yes, a girl group on the brink of debut in America. (!)

Why I’m liking them:
+ Their names are small and memorable: Tanu, CJ, Kat, and Shea.
+ I’ve continued to play their debut single, “Would You Like That?”, for days now.
+Their growing promotion efforts reminds me of the proper hard work the Spice Girls put into their debut.
+ They appear to be able to dance in a manner that is not purely of the slut variety.
+ This rehearsal video seems to confirm that.
+ They ever so slightly remind me of the Sugababes. SLIGHTLY.
+ Lord knows, since the demise of Danity Kane (RIP), we need another female pop group in America.

Why I’m not:
+ This particularly hard-to-swallow sentence from their bio: “An Asian, rocker/rapper, an Indian soul singer, a Russian breaker/ballerina and a Jamaican pop princess forming the new voice of change and female empowerment, while striving for excellence and success through music… in a nutshell: the American Dream!”
+ They ever so slightly remind me of The Saturdays. SLIGHTLY.
+ It could all turn out to be quite shit after all.

Head over to their MySpace to hear two more snippets from the No’s: “Burn Rubber” and “7 Years Bad Luck.” Let me know what you think!

    You don’t like the Saturdays?! They’re the perfect mainstream pop girl-group, both enjoyable to the pop music fan and easily digestable for the public.

    I jest, despite ‘Work’s greatness.

    Hahaha.

    Perhaps if the Aloud didn’t exist, I might have granted them a moment of my time. As it is however, they’re a terribly bland, forgettable experience.

  • Paul

    Other than the awful awful and slightly rapey sounding band name this turns out to be quite promising. However, as you say, it could all still go horribly wrong!

  • Laurije Bee

    The song’s fun enough, but big, big thumbs down on the name of the band. There are too many creeps in the world who still believe that no does mean yes. You know those jokes that are quickly followed by a “too soon?” Yes, this is too soon for glib uses of “no means yes.”

  • Seede

    they looks like Girls Aloud
