... here's a rundown of some of Dever/Boulder's most intriguing discs of 2006...
Five years and as many releases into its existence, Supply Boy is still somewhat of an obscurity in the Mile High City, which is unfortunate in light of the act's startlingly sophisticated musicianship and its penchant for creating smartly crafted pop songs that don't fit neatly into any specific subgenre. [...]
It's hard to tell if the three cartoon canines on the cover of
Supply Boy's new Happy Dogs CD are supposed to represent the band itself.
The trio's music, after all, is as solemn as it is buoyant, dealing in no
vague terms with lethargy, depression, and lovelorn loss. Like an indie
update of 90's outfits like Sarge and Team Dresch, Supply Boy leans on the
stridently melodic vocal force of guitarist Sarah Lucey and bassist Suzi Allegra,
whose candid lyrics and vicious pop instincts make for some of Denver's most
arresting and eminently real punk rock. The group will be celebrating
Happy Dogs' release as part of the monthly woman-oriented arts-and-music
showcase Under The Hood.

Rock Locally:
Supply Boy, Happy Dogs --
Suzi Allegra and Sarah Lucey sing tunes that mend hearts as much as break them
-- and Happy Dogs is a bracing shot of unpretentious pop-punk that's not afraid
to bust out the accoustics, the intelligence, or the unabashed honesty.
