Tough as nails girl group The Shangri-Las.
I Can Never Go Home Anymore reminds me of when I was 18 years old, moved out, and caused some serious trouble, just to discover ... once you're out you're out! The song has a Phil Spector feel, big loud arrangements and lots of dramatically momentous vocals. The B-side,
Bull Dog is a harp driven Garage Rock number, about a "big bad bull dog," meaning asshole. These girls might mostly sing ballads about love and heart break, but you'd be nuts to go toe to toe with The Shangri-Las!
