Album Review

Austrian female-fronted rock band KITTY IN A CASKET was formed in 2008 and by now released 4th full-length studio albums, including the latest creation entitled ‘Kiss & Hell’. The band’s style is tagged as Psychobilly, combining the energy and expressiveness of punk with lightness and tunefulness of country and rockabilly. And one can notice everything after listening to the album, but it’s better not too expect much more from the record. The songs definitely are energetic and positive enough, but gradually they are turning into one endless composition and by the end of the album you may be getting bored. However fans of the genre and the band in particular will find something interesting for themselves.

In whole the album is okay, the guitar sound produced a good impression and seem distinctive. The atmosphere of the album in its turn is rather bright and informal, although the lyrics sometimes don’t fit, but it’s hard to ponder the words because all the tracks fly really fast. As for the lead vocals, it’s a little bit childish, neither good nor bad, but without any technical refinements, yet for punk rock it’s normal. The album contains 13 tracks but after listening it’s difficult to remember at least one, maybe because of the lack of expressiveness, which can be called the only real shortcoming of the thing.
