Black Cat Attack - Vamparty

Okay, so this is a cd I waited for a while before it finally arrived (having ordered it in January with no fault to the band or anyone....just slow in coming to the HMV...shit happens!) and I must say, it was worth the wait! In a genre dominated by male vocalists, Valerie Knox does an amazing job killing and slaying everything in her path. The band is bang up too and the ep is a highlight in a year full of memorable releases. "Death Punk Prowl" and "Don't Go into the Woods Alone" may be two of my favorite songs on this release but, upon another listen, that may change. If you decide to have a party full of vampires and one of them has sparkles, this may knock the glitter out of them! Oh! And a benefit of physical releases is the artwork (of course!), something lost in the digital age. It is awesome! If I never heard of them before, I'd be inclined to give them a listen based on the cover alone! And lets face it, we all used to do that back in the day! So, give it up and give a listen to Oshawa's own Black Cat Attack! If this release is any indication of the future, they will be big players in the time ahead....don't say you haven't been warned before :)
