This almost sounds like… it's like Abba having been swallowed by this horrible underground sewer-creature and regurgitated into this mutant-like thing that took away their… soul!

Seriously, imagine them as a rock band… a hard one at that, but the difference here is that females comprise three-fourths of the group with this one stoned-out looking guy named "Cock" on the drums.

Ladies and Gentlemen I give you The Run… um, Candyass!

Returning to the here and now, Candyass reminds me more of The Lunachicks than anyone else-let's face it, Abba doing rock songs is like a terrible nightmare… and who the Hell even remembers what The Runaways once were?

The six tunes here bristle with "balls…" and tenacity-it's like a slutty version of The Go Go's or something!

They can sing for sure, with each of the three filling in the backing harmonies in the finest punk rant while Galadriel, who looks every bit the lead singer supports herself well amidst fiery outbursts of nastiness written around tasteless lyrics and general bitchiness!

Unfortunately I'm looking at this the day after I just wrote on this one all-girl German band called Rockbitch and honestly, I'm still recovering!

So Candyass could be the world's worst band of outlaw thugs put to music and they'd still sound like choirgirls in light of the fact!

Candyass, veterans of the Lower East Side punk movement has the trashy vibe working overtime on such wickedly entertaining ranks on anyone and everyone from "Bullets Bounce Off," to "Go Away" and concluding with the snide "Popular Girls."

So there goes fifty percent of the amount… we'll leave the rest to the imagination cause odds are there will be some degree of unsettling thought patterns running through somewhere along the lines… where they may lead, I have no idea.

Childishly funny, disgustingly daring and pretty together all things considered!

Now if you'll excuse me I have this sudden urge to jump in the shower…
