Girlz Like That is yet another great Kingston group (well partly) that have not had their talents duly recognized. At least not locally. In fact the band is quite popular in the States...most notably Connecticut...where The Hitman (once again not the wrestler) and the band's extrordinary lead guitarist Denise reside.
Anyway it's time the band get thir due respect and I'll be the one to give it to them. Jam packed full of exquisite harmonies, screaming lead guitar licks and raunchy female vocals this record really is a treat to listen to. I immediately fell in love with lead vocalist Robin Collins' gritty vocals which could be likened to many .. Lita Ford, Courtney Love, Pat Benatar - take your pick. The most common comment about her raspy vocals is that she sounds like a man. I'm sure Melissa Etheridge got the same thing. Robin could also draw comparisons to Miss Etheridge.... actually the band covers Melissa Ethridge's "Brave and Crazy" on the album. The albums title comes from the band's song "Jezebel" the raunchiest number on the album (and my personal favorite). Plenty of solid tracks here .... especially "Comeback", "Forever" and "Black Moon". GLT & HM manage to combine elements of rock, folk, blues and pop to into a familiar yet fresh sound that can be both energetic and laid back. This is one band that has done their homework and spent alot of time practicing ....the proof is in the pudding as they say.

Bio
With complex musical composition, engaging lyrics, powerful vocals and their silly onstage antics, it's easy to see why the Girlz have a solid fan base that continues to grow with every performance.
With each of the Girlz writing music and lyrics and singing lead and harmony vocals, they produce a diverse blend of original material reminiscent of many artists like, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Melissa Etheridge, Bob Dylan, Indigo Girls and Heart.
Their CD, "For a Good time Call", was very well received and was, "jam packed full of exquisite harmonies, screaming lead guitar licks and raunchy female vocals, this record really is a treat to listen to". The Girlz are currently working on a new CD of original material which will be ready for summer 2010 tour.
When they're not making music they are supporting the cause to promote women in music. They are active members of the organizing team for the Raise The Roof Women's Music Festival as well as the monthly women's music series "Girls Nite Out" in Kingston, Ontario.
