Well, Stiina is out. Annabella is
back in. What does that mean to you? Well, a whole hell of a lot if you’re
a hardcore VI fan and have been following the Finnish band since their
formative days as a Joan Jett cover band. But for the rest of us, it just
means that VI has replaced their hired shredded tee and tight jean rock
starlet for the original. The band, of course, doesn’t skip a beat, as
it’s all exceptional, drop-dead hard rock riffs, Cult arena pomp, pop
metal choruses, and sleazy connotations, kind of like if a throatier
Juliette Lewis was spittin’ out venom for Crystal Pistol and they were
playing exclusively in those cold, northern European countries where they
live off of exclusive diets of milk, honey, deer meat, Jagermeister,
cigarettes, and smack. So, yeah…welcome back, Annabelle. Here’s hoping
this Vanity really is a full-time job.
