Here's a little something special for all you underground cult freakazoids. Hailing all the way from Rhode Island, The Midnight Creeps consists of Heather Mars on guitar, Jonas Parmelee on bass, Jeff Creep on drums and Jenny Hurricane on the microphone. The group's notorious 2002 debut album "Doomed from the Get Go" is a must-have for all fist-in-the-air mohawk beer monkeys because it hits the nail on the head on what riot grrl punk rock deserves to be: raw, loud, fast and as dirty as a Maxi Pad! Heavily drawing the nostalgic three-chord cigarette sound from CBGB's old school Ramones-and-Sex Pistols era, the album's eleven trash-and-toilet anthems proudly lift a middle finger against America's squeaky clean and polically correct status quo, and Jenny's throat-shredding sex kitty vocals are right on the forefront. In a way, she evokes the spirit of other awesome frontwomen who came before her, particularly Janis Joplin and Wendy O. Williams. I, of course, loved the album all the way through, and "Doomed" is a CD I recommend to anyone fed up with manufactured, over-glamourized one-hit bimbo wonders who are only noticed by their looks and not their talent.
