Nikki’s Wives’ new EP Motor Court is actually so savage you might have to stop to catch your breath. In a good way. "Stop giving ultimatums if you trust me" and "too close, Romeo" are some of the very clever, tongue-in-cheek lyrics from their song "Breaking Up." The arrangement is the ultimate anthemic rock middle-finger to whomever hurt frontwoman Nikki- let’s just say I wouldn’t want to be that guy. But Nikki (and her band) won’t let any boys bring them down, so if you’re feeling a little hurt by an SO in your life, be sure to listen to this EP. You won’t feel bad for long. Nikki’s Wives plays High Watt on 7/26. –Geena Kloeppel
