Jezebelle - Bad Attitude (1990)

These queens of the damned sure know how to rock - in fact Zaz Richards' riff on 'No Mercy' is absolute killer, a real swaggering yet crushing groove that deserves a better vocalist, because H. Stewart, although having a fair set of lungs can be out of tune with her hearty roar. This is still a noisy hard rock/metal record with bite, ''Leave Me Alone' sounds like a metallic Blondie with its vocal delivery and heavy groove, but I know so little about these gals, but was rather a tad surprise at the display of weight here, no pussy-footin' around like Vixen, this has a lot of attitude and denim bravado, although isn't a patch on the monster that was Meldrum. 6/10
