The Nymphs - The Nymphs (1991)


Another cool and yet oh so tragic act. Fronted by the enigmatic Inger Lorre, The Nymphs played a vibrant mix of goth, punk, metal, alt-rock...and got nowhere. Major label interest, but inner friction sadly caused the band to split in '92 after their debut record faded into obscurity. However, The Nymphs were a decent band, wrote decent tunes, and also released a superb EP, 'A Practical Guide To Astral Projection', which also 'flopped'. It's so sad that albums like this are forgotten by many, let alone never experienced by some...as more and more dire music gets released weekly, hopefully we can gather our thoughts for those cool bands who once came and flitted away so quickly. Remember The Nymphs because their debut album was a very good record.

7/10

It's fair to say that Inger Lorre gave Courtney Love a few ideas as well. Classic case where the forerunner doesn't enjoy the success they deserve.
