All Hell Breaks Loose With MANNEQUIN PUSSY In 82 Perfect Seconds

28 April 2021

Band: MANNEQUIN PUSSY
Who: Philly punk force / 3 albums (so far)

New single: PERFECT – title track from upcoming EP, out 21 May

About: “I realized that through years of social media training, many of us have grown
this deep desire to manicure our lives to look as perfect, as aspirational as possible. We
want to put ourselves out there, share our lives, our stories, our day to day – and these
images and videos all shout the same thing: “Please look at me, please tell me I’m so perfect.” It’s simultaneously a declaration of our confidence but edged with the desperation that seeks validation from others.”
says vocalist-guitarist Missy.

Why writing a 300-page book or making a 2-hour movie when you can get your message across perfectly in 82 striking seconds? Listen to this new Pussy Molotov cocktail and you’ll get my adrenaline-charged drift. When you combine the hair-raising clamor of Bikini Kill and the grunge nastiness of Hole you can’t be as loud and clear as this.

Look in my eyes
Tell me I’m it
Tell me I’m beauty
Tell me I’m fit
Laugh at my face
Spit on my tits
Tell me I’m perfect
Tell me I’m it

SMASHING PUMPKINS Released Underrated ‘ADORE’ Album 20 Years Ago Today…

Going back in sonic history looking for memorable albums…

2 June 2018

Band: SMASHING PUMPKINS

Album: ADORE

Released: 2 June 1998 – 20 years ago

ROLLING STONE wrote: “Imagine that Bruce Springsteen had released his stark
‘Nebraska’ after the towering ‘Born In The U.S.A.’ For Corgan, ‘Adore’ represents a
deflating of expectations even as it broadens the boundaries of his band. If the
Pumpkins seemed to be turning into stadium-rock behemoths on their last tour,
the new album presents Corgan, bassist D’Arcy and guitarist James Iha as pop
changelings who are bolder, quirkier and more versatile than anyone may have
imagined.”
Full review here – Score: 3.5/5

TURN UP THE VOLUME says: “Instead of copying double cd bestseller ‘Mellon
Collie and the Infinite Sadness’
frontman Billy Corgan went for a softer, more
reflective and more sensitive approach to deal with his demons. ‘Adore’ is
an underrated work of vulnerable profoundness.”
