Ambitious Career Woman blends a variety of styles to produce some solid music. On "...To Avoid a Lawsuit," hardcore, punk, indie, jazz, and even a little surf influence can be heard. The songs are energetic, driving, and frenetic; they sound like they were crafted in Washington, DC, not Seattle. As classic DC hardcore seems to be a niche that the Louisiana-based Lujo Records is aiming at, Ambitious Career Woman fits in well with the label's roster.

The Phantom Tollbooth 2004Reviewed by Brian A. SmithEleven surf-punk songs with hardcore vocals done in just over a half hour. Ambitious Career Woman (who is comprised of three males who are seemingly trying to make this their career) wants to grab your attention, and make sure they hold it, because they have a lot to say and a short time to get it all out of their collective system. Lujo Records seems to court artists who employ tongue in cheek…Similar sounding releases
