Search - Venus and the Razorblades :: More Songs from the Sunshine Jungle

Glammy punk straight out of the ?70s. Venus and the Razorblades have reformed and recorded the follow-up to their 1977 Punk Rock Classic album, ?Songs from the Sunshine Jungle,? with the same kinds of dark hard sounds and twisted lyrics. This comeback album, "More Songs from the Sunshine Jungle," finds them a quarter-century later in true mid-'70s punk-pop form, and better than ever. The concept of a coed hardcore rock band is still a relatively unique and untested possibility, given each gender's potential misgivings, but the acute songwriting talents of Venus and Kim Fowley relegate the members to role-playing, and, like the best of actors, they play their parts well, steering clear of the hype. A long-awaited surprise gem, sure to engage long-suffering fans of old-school kick-ass rock 'n' roll.
