The 1980 Listening Post - Super Heroines - Cry for Help

 1982 Housekeeping

Super Heroines

Cry for Help

Genre: Goth Rock

3.75 out of 5 



Highlights:

Convicts

Blue Blood



The resume of this band is sort of nuts.

Some of them went off to work with Rozz Williams. Another was in Hollywood Rose. 

Another became a DJ in New York and LA and then the Internet. 


I don’t know how fair it is to classify this as Goth or Death rock. Aside from the intent and lyrical content and the wailing of Eva O, it’s really not very Death-y.

It’s more razorblades alternative. 

Maybe a little like 45 Grave. Or sped up Shoegaze at times. It’s not bad, but Super Heorines don’t want you to enjoy their music. They want you to experience them. I imagine this is a stage show behind the railing at Coconut Teaszer. 

I would put them on a bill with Plasmatics and make a ton of money before my club was destroyed.
