The two members (Lindsey Troy and Julie Edwards) of Deap Vally seriously bring the dirty blues rock to their new album Sistronix. If you like your rock muddy and gritty like the Black Keys, well you might have just found yourself a new band to listen to. These two are seriously badass and there's no doubt after one listen to this album. I have to see them live now. Just listening to "Baby I Call Hell" makes you realize these gals are cutting right through the bullshit and smacking you in the face.
"End Of The World" is the first song I heard from Sistronix and wow does it just rock. And yes, it really does remind me of the White Stripes. There are worse bands to be reminded of in my opinion. The hook is very similar to "Icky Thump" but who's complaining. I will be playing this song often during the long hot summer.
"Lies" is another teeth rattling jam from Sistronix. This is the kind of music I imagine playing in a whiskey soaked back-alley bar in the deep South. Ok, maybe not the deep South since they might only play Skynyrd. Ladies, you rock. Hands down.
Since I brought up "Icky Thump," let's put that up for a comparison. Listen to "End of The World" and then click on some "Icky" to see how close it comes. "Icky Thump" really stands the test of time. We want more Stripes! And yes, the song sounds even a bit like "The Hardest Button To Button" but who's counting?
