Don’t assume that with a name such as the Butchies you’ll be listening to three riot-grrrl-esque girls singing about castrations. Comparable to fellow all-girl indie-punk band Sleater-Kinney, this North Carolina band’s fourth album, Make Yr Life, is nothing but raucous pop punk. In fact, they’re so delightfully poppy you’ll feel like they should be on the soundtrack to some WB sitcom.

Frontwoman Kaia has a delicate, soothing and yielding voice, which might seem to be a bit of an anomaly for a pop-punk band — but that’s just another misconception about the band. Her vocals are especially fitting for the gentler tracks on this album such as “Everything + Everywhere” and a cover of the Outfield’s “Your Love.” In contrast to these slower tempo songs, the trio produces quintessential pop-punk melodies with enchanting harmonies, many of which are a testament to Kaia’s vocals. The opening track, “Send Me You,” has all the ingredients for a great pop song: a catchy chorus, a rhythm that will have you tapping your feet and head-bobbing, lyrics about unrequited love, and amiable melodies. That can be said for the majority of the songs on this album, which is perhaps what makes this album a tad too poppy and sugary at times.

The Butchies will play at the Casbah on May 25.
