The best thing about a project like this is discovery. Sometimes it's a song. Or an album that slipped by. Or an entire fucking band.
Where is Rock Goddess in the great pantheon of 80's hair metal? I literally never heard of them until today.
This album is so delicious. At first it sounds like Joan Jett and Plasmatics got together and recorded a chainsaw of a metal record and then I realized that they are better than both of those bands combined (not too hard to beat out Wendy O, to be sure.)
They slay Girlschool. They rock. They slash. THIS is really what The Donnas were trying to get to but they never could. Because, seriously, how fucking great is bassist Tracey Lamb???
Really fucking great. That's how.
