Your dance card has expired. It’s time to renew it with an album that’s worth rocking out to! Patsy Grind is an all girl group from Southern California that posses the sound of today’s rock with a pure 80’s feel. The intensity streaks out of these chicks with charging reckless lyrics and a serendipity style of songwriting. A diamond sharp compilation of songs with only two intentions: rock out and have fun while you’re doing it. Just picture an all girl festival where a mosh pit suddenly opens. The Donnas, PJ Harvey, and Sleater-Kinney all jump in at once right in the middle of it crashing hard on The Bangles..yeah, it’s something like that. It’s that CD you want in your player at all times. The one that you need to start your day and the one you need to finish it. Best played at a high volume while driving fast. Just watch your speed…you’re likely to become so engrossed in Patsy Grind’s “Call It Love” your not going to know what to call that speeding ticket you’re bound to receive.

PATSY GRIND, Call It Love (Happy Dagger): Ok, I got this CD in January_ and I listened to it and loved it. I haven’t written since then, and I feel so guilty about it. Here’s a link to the band’s myspace site: www.myspace.com/patsygrindmusic. They’ve got some great songs, but my favorites are Superstar and Save Me. The lyrics are absolutely fabulous; it’s as though they crawled into my head and wrote songs just for me. These women are the kind of women that make me want to be a musician. They make me want to express myself. They make me want to sing along. They make me FEEL. Patsy Grind’s music is at the least, SEXY, DIRECT, and POWERFUL. Don’t cheat yourself. Log in and listen. This powerful group of women includes: Danielle Silva on Lead vocals, Mia Ferraro on lead guitar, and the amazing Judy Cocuzza on the drums. I can’t wait to hear more from them! - Frankie Doll Mattson
