Sometimes, you just need some good, solid guitar chords, a singer who can scream as bad-assedly as she can croon beautifully and a repertoire that fits right at home on a number of radio frequencies. With Naked on Rollerskates, this is exactly what you get on I Lost My Heart in the Battle: comfortable, catchy songs that hit your ear just right without bowling you over on the conceptual or buzz-busting front.

The premiere EP showcases the versatility of frontwoman and vocalist Leesa Coyne, allowing her to wail like a woman scorned on “Bad Side” while capitalizing on her enthusiasm on “Bullshit” and lead-off single “Sugar.” Coyne’s not just another girl cranking the volume to 10 and hoping that the vocals blasting back at her through the monitor are in tune—each chorus, high note and inflexion vibrates with purpose. A strong start, indeed.
