I only heard the album last week, and was quite impressed, though looking at my desk there's a copy of Kerrang from March which raves about these guys (note to self, clean my desk). Incidentally, never trust anything anyone says in any magazine, it's just nice to read though.
But back to the music, just think of Queens of the Stone Age, with a female vocalist (who incidentally can't sing as high as Josh Homme, though that says more about him than it detracts from her). The music is quite well composed, heavy distorted bass, heavy drums, and very, very grungy guitars. Brody's voice suits the music perfectly.
The one negative thing I will say is that some of the songs (namely "Geeking" and "Sex Bomb") seem a bit long and repetitive. If they were a bit shorter, they'd be perfectly fine. That being said I'll let it go, the rest of the album is brilliant. The best songs have to be "Ghetto Love" and "Baptized By Fire" both available on their Myspace for your listening pleasure.
A few unrelated things... A review of Gregory and The Hawk in Whelans will be up on my last.fm page soon. It was pretty awesome.
A belated thanks to our friend Robin at Forward Music for his kind words earlier in the month, who's blog is now year old and who's new website puts ours to shame (stay tuned for a whole new design soon. I'll get around to it eventually).
And thanks to something.from.nancy for the awesome picture of Spinnerette today. She's Female, she's taken, and she sells clothes on ebay. So check her pictures and the clothes out.
