"THERE'S SOMETHING irresistible about Rachel Stamp's dogged campaign to bring a little perverted glamour back into rock n' roll.
Ideally 'Black Cherry' should only be listened to at Madison Square Garden as thunderous flashbombs illuminate garish under-dressed trannies administering 'oral relief' to the original members of Kiss. Back in the real world, however, David Ryder-Prangley's cartoon bad-ass vocals and filthy riffing with have you rifling through your mum's stilletto collection and tottering around your kitchen in ecstatic glee. Er, ... I've said too much haven't I?"
