THE VIBRATION
brings us "Ear To The Ground" - Listen hard and listen well. Well-constructed songs, good songs come from this female foursome. Haunting sounds, reminiscent of Siouxsie Sioux. Their strength show in this cd. Their composition and delivery is superb. Nothing average, way way better. The female presence in music is just going from strength to strength. There is something really endearing in the sound these girls have created. Look out for them, a nice addition to your cd collection.

I dunno, this one is way out there, but then you'd expect it to be coming all the way from Japan! Japan Girl Nite brings us tracks by PETTY BOOKA, BLEACH, NOODLES, KOKESHI DOLL. It's a fabulous compilation of beautiful Japanese female punks doing everything from the really heavy thrashing to the pop-ist of pop! Fantastic. One thing about the Japanese, they really do Punk better than anyone. They got the true spirit of Punk completely down! Presents by the Benten Label. See them live at Knitting Factory Tap Bar on March 23rd! Well worth the effort. Too cool to miss this one!
