The new girl in school is thrown into a topsy-turvy madhouse of high school hellcats.

Reviews

Paper magazine writes "They’re here, they’re queer, and they’re ready to rock. The grrrls in the post-punk Brooklyn band Triple-Crème are not afraid of a little heavy bass or some catchy guitar riffs. They’re also not afraid to kick your ass."[1] Christa Martin of GT Weekly says "This colorful romp in high school antics and edginess is a wild ride of a music video."[2]

Elaine Mak of New England Film said that "award-winning director Leah Meyerhoff has built up a large list of accomplishments as a filmmaker"[3] and Flavorpill writes: "post-punk lez rockers Triple Creme enlisted the brightest and most buoyant of New York's burlesque scene to star in the new music video for their single Team Queen."[4]
