<\/a>Now you might or might not know the Soapgirls, if you do know them then the first thing you will get as you read this is probably going to be an R-Rated image. I\u2019d even go so far as to say you would probably have missed this baby coming out!! Personally, my last experience of the Soapgirls was at this year\u2019s Camden Rocks Festival, actually on the street outside Dingwalls when I was deep in conversation with Paul Ronney Angel from the Urban Voodoo Machine, needless to say, they caught my eye.<\/p>\nBut let’s not focus on the image, for once let\u2019s focus on the music and do you know what this LP knocks it out of the park. If I was to use a press term and quoted \u201cRiot Girl\u2019s\u201d what would it mean to you as a reader? The music is unashamedly Punked up, Scuzzed up Rock and Roll, drawing on bands like Hole, LZ and even throwing in a hint of the Runaways pop sensibilities.<\/p>\n
This is grounded in Punk, full of attitude and vocally sits somewhere between Louise Distras and Hands off Gretel\u2019s frontwoman Lauren Tate. As I\u2019m listening you pick up obvious grunge influences to sit alongside the punk leanings and the pop sensibilities giving a great well-rounded package (ahem Freudian slip).<\/p>\n
Opener \u201cSociety\u2019s Rejects\u201d nails you to the wall and you don\u2019t take a breath until 5th<\/sup> track in \u201cAir\u201d. \u201cStep Outside\u201d draws down the spirit of the Pistols all edge and attitude, but with just the right amount of sneer. Next up \u201cOriginal Sin\u201d no not a Wild Family cover but a real in your face raw as fuck punk rock stampede, that stuttering bass intro giving way to distorted feed-backing guitar, then the riff starts up and you’re hooked in.<\/p>\n By this point you begin to realize how catchy the music is, you\u2019ve stopped bouncing around and began to focus, you start to listen and the head begins to nod, then things explode and your into \u201cDrag you down\u201d tentatively my fave on the LP alongside the intensity of the juggernaut that is \u201cBreak you\u201d. Fifteen tracks, not a dud in sight.
