AMG Review of Eight Arms to Hold You
Roch Parisien
All Music GuidePicture Joan Jett at her altruistic peak creating sparks in the studio by chomping at the bit proffered by a calculating -- but astute and sympathetic -- Svengali, and you have a fair grasp of Eight Arms to Hold You. In fact, ferocious lead single "Volcano Girls" holds its own in the classic, dumb-ass, slashing hard rock singles sweepstakes with Jett's own "I Love Rock'n'Roll." This destructive blast only clears the terrain for some of the album's more tuneful missiles like the Bangles-ish "Awesome," the pseudo-orchestrated "Benjamin" (has it become impossible to make a rock album without cello, real or synthesized?), and the hook-festooned "The Morning Sad." Throughout, the dual-tracked siren calls of Kim Gordon and Louise Post ensnare just long enough for the group's rock-amplified guitars-bass-drums to smash you stupid.

So now that it's apparently okay to get nostalgic about the 90's (thanks, VH-1) here's a tribute to a few girls with guitars who faciliated my sexual awakening in that grungy decade:D'Arcy Wretzky (Smashing Pumpkins)Justine Frischmann (Elastica)Nina Gordon (Veruca Salt)Miki Ber...

Next time your 14 year old niece attempts to persuade you that today's female rockers currently polluting the airwaves are superior to the ones you may have grown up listening to, show them this clip. If that isn't nine shades of awesome rock, I'll chop my forefinger and pinky off so I can never make the devil horns again. And Louise Post - oh, my. No lip synching, no backing track - just four ...
