Suffrajett!!!

Anyone else here like Suffrajett? They're a fairly new band as far as I know. I just discovered them recently when I ran into them in Metropop magazine. You can preview them either at their website or on their myspace profile. If you haven't heard of them, check them out.

They have arrived, the stunning, mental rock from Suffrajett ready to give us a taste of what’s real. Front woman Simi heads this fantastic new band from NYC, called Suffrajett. To describe them is to dig your own grave, but here goes…they are punk maintaining pop melodies…there we did it. Simi sings like a sexually possessed demon, supported by a great band which includes: guitarist Jason Chasko who previously co-wrote with Liz Phair.

Suffrajett push out sliced-from-the-bone rock and roll – thoroughly hook-driven (via grunge), but a bit dirty and dark. It’s atop this devil's food music that Simi thickly spreads her sugary pop-styled, Joan Jett-****ing-Lenny Kravitz vocals. The gigs are devastating and everyone falls in love with Simi the striking exotic hypnotic wailer (think Grace Jones meets Deborah Harry).

Check out what Esquire had to say: "low-fi grunge hair metal, which is kind of like calling someone a pragmatically cynical optimist...you will like this album if you tend to be frightened by the women you are attracted to."
