 MISS 45
– Steals the Show No Talent Records (No
Talent Records) If you value originality above all else, if the most
important thing about a band for you is their sense of individuality
regardless of enjoyability, then Miss
45 might not be for you. For my part, though, I’ll almost
always take catchy melodies sung slightly out of tune in front of a three
chord progression played by a two guitars/bass/drums backing band
with an over the top New York Dolls obsession rather than an originally
bland combo. And that’s essentially what you get with Miss 45,
four young men from Sweden who wear a lot of scarves and shirts with wide
lapels and cuffs and lots of things with spots. The songs are all
about girls and drugs and booze, they all sound vaguely the same (and
vaguely familiar) and they’re all guaranteed to get you out of your
chair and shaking your ass. I like this band. I’d like to
party with them (if I still partied). I’d like to drink beer and
watch bad movies with them while scantily clad young women bring us nachos
and bend over suggestively. Because when it comes to sleazy
rock’n’roll, there’s no point in trying to be original. Just
like with sex. There are no new positions to discover. Just
climb on and go. -Brian Mosher
