Running Out of Things to Say
McQueen
(Funny Tongue)
Not to be confused with the American band by the same name; McQueen produce angsty-shouty female sleaze rock with serious dolops of attitude. Unlike many who try the genre, this is genuinely good rock. The four ladies play their music with attitude and have opened for such diverse acts as LA Guns & Mad Capsule. Included is a video for the title track which is a nice slice of sleaze rock, as are the rest of the tracks especially 'Life Support ICU'. Their sound is not that far afield from Slunt. Sure beats listening to most of what qualifies as rock in the UK these days. Getting quite a bit of airplay in the US as well. A full length cannot come too soon. Yet another "catch 'em before they are huge' recomendation is in order.

What is 'sleaze rock'?

Well it was started by bands like the NY Dolls and Hanoi Rocks. Read my review of the Slunt CD and you will get the idea.

Sleaze rock is punk rock and hair metal mixed together. Think bands like the aforementioned Hanoi Rocks, GNR, Faster Pussycat, LA Guns, Ratt or newer bands like Mr. Nasty, Backyard Babies, Crank County Daredevils and Simply Slang.
