Any Given Day
Perverts and Pornstars
Amp

__________________________________________

The normally Canuck-centric Amp Records spread it's leathery tendrils all the way across the Atlantic to scoop up this band o' mouthy, snotty, limey sex-punks. Any Given Day are led by one Libby, a pink haired punkette who's throaty, strained vox are a deadringer for Wendy O, and whose outfits - used leather, ripped fishnets - bring to mind a young Beki Bondage. Cept I dunno that Beki was ever into Motley Crue. S'true, AGD toss plenty 0f 80's flash metal licks into their sonic stew of 77 punk, pop-hooks, and razor glam. Kinda like the Erotics with tits. Perverts and Pornstars are somethin' I know plenty about, and I am happy to report that this here rekkid is a swell representation of both. Big hit of the platter has gotta be the manic singalong Ramones-cop "Rock n' Roll Rehab", both for it's sock-hop beat and it's pogo-powered chorus. Or maybe it's the glam-metal tinged "Scream My Name at Nite", which sounds kinda like Patty Smythe, if Scandal were American Heartbreak. Or maybe it's the jagged sneer of "Lipstick Sex". Or maybe...look, it's a hot album, dig? Hooks, looks, the whole show. Get one, if ya like sex. Or Rock and roll. Either one.
