Here's an interesting little 4 track EP that, if nothing else, proves that the internet really can be full of pleasant surprises. You see, when I was but a lad I had a huge poster on my wall of Lorraine Lewis, lead singer of Femme Fatale and utter babe. Their only album was pretty good, but the New Mexico band fell apart soon afterwards, with the poster eventually following suit as a jealous girlfriend made me replace it.Now, after varying other projects, Lorraine has hooked up with drumming legend Roxy Petrucci, she of Madam X and Vixen fame amongst others, to form Roktopuss. Okay, the name is unusual, but I have to admit I love it. Of course, a good name is nothing without good music, but I'm happy to report that Roktopuss have started their recording career with four decent slices of hard rock with a sleazy edge to it. “Dogbite†and “Naked†are full on rawk and rollers with a decent bite to them, whilst “Away†is more midpaced and “Desperate†is more of a blues/country acoustic based drawl. All of them are decent songs which made me want to hear more from this band. And yeah, they both still look great...
