"Hydrogyn: Strip 'Em Blind Live.
Well, if you know of and like the album Bombshell then this was is for you. It is pretty much the same track listing BUT performed live. The performance is new, fresh and dynamic and the sound is great.
Bombshell was actually their second album as there is a debut album available from the official homepage. So their sound was already at a high level when Bombshell was released. Even though the line-up has changed a bit, the livealbum shows a tight band which is capable of performing live.
Hydrogyn surely has a front figur in Julie Westlake, who do have a voice a bit similar to Amy Schugar's but with a higher pitch. If you like female power-pop / rock in the vain of Vixen, you should give this a try. Even though their material is pretty strong, I think they need a couple more of real catchy hits to make it big."
