Overrated and overhyped drivel
Substandard musicianship, a lot of posing and no songs to speak of. Of all the lame bands in the "Swedish invasion" or whatever they're calling it, these girls are unquestionably the worst. Not a good live band, either.


sexy crazy cool
Maybe something like Sahara Hotnights actually do. When I first heard about The Donnas and saw a picture of them I thought they were going to sound great. This band is another import from the Sweden scene which we write about so much about in Free Williamsburg. We are on it. Sahara Hotnights released their first record in 1997, so even though they look like jailbait they are veterans of the scene in their early 20s. Their fresh take on music is a mix of new wave and punk. This is the music that is taking over Sweden and now the world. It's always interesting to see different takes. It's more exotic that way. Most of us need to make room in our record collections for something like this.

It begins with "Alright Alright" and "Keep The Speed Up" which are both fast paced songs with original melodies. The guitar playing is jagged and crisp. It's hard to believe that there could be a female Stooges. Since they have been doing this band from such an early age they seem world weary and skilled. The best song is "On Top Of Your World" and defines their original sound. Sometimes they are like a more melodic Social Distortion in their early days. They do draw from the well of punk but from no one in particular. Where The Donnas seem stiff at times, this Swedish band seems more expansive and imaginative. If Kim Fowley had this group in the 1970s they would have been the biggest band on the planet. The album is wall to wall speed. If they would have done some slow songs maybe that would be interesting. But who am I to keep these gals back? They could be the next big thing. (. . . ).


Jennie Bomb
These four ladies bring classic punk rock hooks with just enough of a pop sensibility to make them more palatable to the masses and easier to digest than other like-minded Scandinavian bands - The Hives and The International Noise Conspiracy. Sahara Hotnights might be the latest Swedish import but they certainly mark themselves as one of the best. *Jennie Bomb* certainly makes the aforementioned boys jealous of the girls' firepower instantly exploding with eleven songs in thirty-two minutes. "On Top Of The World" and "Fire Alarm" are from the punk album No Doubt never made as lead singer Maria Andersson comes off as a prettier Joan Jett fronting the Ramones. Sahara Hotnights are posed to break big with *Jennie Bomb* and it won't be long until their name is mentioned with the same reverence of other grrrl rawkers Sleater Kinney and L7.


They Rock Alright Alright!
Forget Avril Lavine, these girls really do rock. Sahara Hotnights are full of rock, edge, and attitude. You will be rocking from the first track to the last track. Alright Alright!!.


GARAGE GURLZ RULE MY SKOOL
They're fiesty, pushy, aggresive fems who know how to write songs with POP ROCK HOOKS FROM HEAVEN. one of my most favorite girl groups right now. I have to admit that, at least for myself, this "garage rock" band of girls is the best one around. Their songs are solid, unshakable, and extremely CATCHY. Oh yeah, and they're some of the sexiest girls in rock right now. . droool.
