Album Review: The Julie Ruin - Hit Reset

Dylan Stewart
StarStarStar

"The Julie Ruin is for those who recognise the occasional requirement of a blast of volume into their earholes."

More The Julie Ruin The Julie Ruin Profile

The raucous nature of Hit Reset is a cacophony of sound.

The Julie Ruin is for those who recognise the occasional requirement of a blast of volume into their earholes, when the concept of melody is replaced by straight-up energy. Kathleen Hanna is the woman behind The Julie Ruin, and has been rocking a similar sound in Le Tigre and Bikini Kill (as well as a solo version of Julie Ruin in the late '90s), and brings the passion and bluntness that everybody needs to hear once in a while.
