WHERE YOU’LL FIND HER: In front of a Marshall stack, with her foot up on the monitor.
FILE UNDER: Grrrl power — heavy on the power.
LOWDOWN: With her crimson tresses and ethereal looks, Kim Wright looks like she’s about to serenade you a la Tori Amos. That is, until she cranks up her amp, rips into a power-chord riff, opens wide and rocks you like Courtney Love (minus the skank factor) on Troy, the first cut on Everyday That Scares You. Even better, she keeps up the butt-kicking and name-taking for much of this 10-track disc… …once Wright comes up with a few more songs as powerful as she is, she’ll really be scary.
***1/2 out of *****

Sounds of the Best Indies
Melodic guitar-rock by Winnipeg songwriter and vocalist Wright, whose range extends from the alternarock sneer of Garbage’s Shirley Manson to the compressed, stylized pop of No Doubt’s Gwen Stefani.

Everyday That Scares You
B+
This is the recording that could well push Kim Wright to the forefront of Winnipeg up-and-comers, striking a fine balance of punk-fuelled, almost poppy numbers with moody, mid-tempo concoctions. Of the former, Troy and Girlfriend are tremendously catchy, uptempo album openers while, of the darker material, songs such as Fall Apart and Crawl will probably have some industry types mentioning Amy Lee as they struggle for comparisons. But this isn’t simply derivative material. This Studio 11 recording, produced by Brandon Friesen and Paul Scinocca, captures the sound of songs of a young woman finding her voice — and setting off alarm bells.
