Every time I listen to this track, I strongly feel the musical transformation of the 2000s and the atmosphere of that era.

“Longhair,” featured on their 2008 release Dum Dum Girls EP, makes a powerful impression with its noisy guitar intro.
The depth-laden, effects-drenched melodies and the repeating drum beats linger in your ears with a unique addictive quality.
It’s an eccentric track that showcases Dum Dum Girls’ distinctive musical sensibility.

Brimming with fresh energy, the song announced the emergence of a new talent in the world of girl bands.
The music video, directed by Chris Grismer—an accomplished creator who also worked on The Vampire Diaries—is also noteworthy.
Its era-evoking guitar riffs and lyrics that candidly express teenage feelings come together to create a timeless allure.
It’s a great watch on YouTube and a perfect track for glimpsing the defining traits of 2000s music.
