Album a Day: Sahara Hotnights - Jennie Bomb

No doubt about it that Jennie Bomb (the 2nd release for Sweden's Sahara Hotnights and named for band member Jennie Asplund) is a badass album. Sahara Hotnights 2001 release (2002 in the US) absolutely came out with guns blazing for a disc that is both unforgiving and fun. And how can you not appreciate an all-girl Swedish rock band? The short album (just over 32 minutes) has somewhat of a punk rock attitude with an almost early 90's alternative sound led by vocals that seem more forward than retrospective, though perhaps inspired by previous acts such as Joan Jett and Blondie but setting the tone for other bands such as The Sounds and Le Tigre (both bands formed years later from Sahara Hotnights, though gaining prominence in the same early 2000's time span). I think its also important to note that within the discography of Sahara Hotnights this is perhaps some of the more raw sound we here from the ladies. Jennie Bomb is well-produced, fast-paced, and sexy as hell (if you're into chicks that kick-ass as much as me). Favorite Tracks: Alright Alright (Here's My Fist Where's The Fight?), Fire Alarm, No Big Deal, Only The Fakes Survive, Out of The System
