The Roches: Nurds (Warner Bros.)
Jim Farber, Creem, February 1981
THE ROCHES' Nurd sorority is holding a party on their new album to which you are cordially uninvited. As the polar opposite of The Ramones' Pinhead fraternity (which warmly invites you in for a free lobotomy — Gooba, Gabba, they accept you), the Roches' glee club maintains an exclusive membership of three.
