I may be a little behind times with these reviews, but lately
I've been buying albums at a used record shop to save $$.
Divinyls - Highly charged, power pop. Great Rhythms, great guitars.
This is the best and closest thing to the pretenders
first album I've listened to in a long time. Side one
is a killer.
DFX2 - Remember the Stones in the mid to late 60's? These guys
are their re-incarnation. This is a 5 song mini-ep, I
wish it was a complete lp. The lead singer even sounds
a little like Jagger. People will complain that this
may be copying of a sort, but who gives a sh*t, this is
a damn strong record on its own merits.
Burning Sensations - This is Tim McGovern's first record I believe
since his split with Martha Davis and the
Motels. If you liked his guitar playing on
those first 2 motels albums, be ready for
something quite a bit different on this
mini. It's a 4 songer thats built mainly
on Latin rhythms. His lead has taken mainly
a back seat to the rest of the musicians and
the end result is pretty wild.He does a nice
job on vocals too.
