Just when you thought it was safe to mention Teenacide Records at a party, we've gone completely bonkers and released this collection of ten solid gold summertime hits from that trio of bratty So. Cal blondes who hoodwinked the label into thinking they were a real group. For anyone who flipped over Rocket's contribution to the Hey! Its A Teenacide Pajama Party! CD, you'll have plenty to dig on their debut full-length release, as Lauren, Lauren, and Lauren rock and wreak havoc on a whole slew of seasonal faves from Blondie, the Undertones, Shelley Fabares, Redd Kross, Freddy Cannon, and the Bay City Rollers, to name just a few. While the tired-but-true tale of Rocket's origins has been told at many a Hollywood happening over the past year, nothing could've prepared listeners for Too Hot To Be Bothered, a made-in-the-shade mutation of fuzzed-out guitars and synth-powered beach blanket boogie that reveals the girls' full-on love affair with punky 'n' punchy summertime pop. Includes action-packed liner notes from infamous West Coast pop historian Harvey Kubernik, who reportedly covered his body with an entire bottle of Coppertone the first time he heard the album.

This record is a testament to the kind of sugar-coated pop that makes you think about Annette Funicello playing beach volleyball. How can that be a bad thing?   -- Razorcake

Too Hot to Be Bothered is a cute record. Everything about it screams cute. The songs, the singing, the all songs about summer concept, the pink and red cover, the girls in the band. It's all cute and fun, loads of fun. -- All Music

Amped-up, sunshine-soaked ‘60s power pop. If this isn’t blasting from your crappy speakers this summer, you’re a godless Communist, and that, simply, is that. -- Sleazegrinder.com

A teen-fueled, bubblegum-pop album with a summertime theme…pure fluff, and that's fine with me. -- Teenage Depression
