Label: Vandal
In an act of dismantling the conventional band set-up, riotous Geordie duo Belladonna have arrived with a debut album packed with trashy glamour. Driven by distorted bass, samples and sassy harmonies that touch on the B-52s, ‘Hey Weirdo!’ is the sound of a duo creating gold out of the deliberately minimal sounds at their disposal. When the luscious vocals turn devilish on opener ‘Viva Love’ the album shoots off and doesn’t stop speeding or shaking, confidently switching from one sonic all-girl road-trip to the next. Belladonna say ‘burn your guitars’, on this form they’ll burn all in their wake.
