Lust Lust Lust
words by Stuart Stubbs
When The Raveonettes released mini debut album ‘Whip It On’ they prided themselves on fuzzed-up biker-rock that was all in the same key and never breached the 3-minute barrier in length. It was played faster than a super bike with botched brakes and was all the more exhilarating for it. ‘Lust Lust Lust’ suggests a return to such form, via this duo’s Ronnette’s-tinged, loved-up recent work. It isn’t. Darker than its siblings, this record is a looming NYC to ‘Pretty In Black’s’ sun-misted LA. It’s just mostly too slow and dreary.

Vivian Girls - Vivian Girls

Plastic Passion - Contrived Imagery
They're saying that punk's dead, y'know? Spiritually, if not physically.
Wetdog - Enterprise Reversal
Had ‘Enterprise Reversal’ been a five track EP of a release its toneless blahs from lead shouter Rivka Gillieron would have still been a struggle to sit through.
