RamTatTa - KAMIKAZE QUEENS – Voluptuous Panic

Finally, it’s here, the debut album of the Berlin band KAMIKAZE QUEENS. This combo formed from the ashes of the brilliant Sin City Circus Ladies. In no time, the band has made a name for itself nationwide, especially in their hometown Berlin, where they are now more than just an insider tip. The band rocks with two extremely good-looking rock'n'roll women and three equally good-looking men. One of them is guitarist Tex Morton (Sunny Domestozs, Ex-Mad Sin). The band's sound is strongly reminiscent of Sin City Circus Ladies. A lot of dirty rock'n'roll paired with rockabilly, blues, and burlesque lyrics. The band likes to refer to their style as “Variete-Punk.” Those who have the variety of the 1920s in mind will find the band there. The crackling eroticism and seduction of the variety of that time, combined with the rock'n'roll of the 1960s, bring the five band members a mix on stage that is very enjoyable to hear and see.
“Voluptuous Panic” unfortunately cannot fully capture the magic that the band exudes live. It sounds like rock'n'roll, like blues (especially the song “If you love me” is pure goosebumps), like garage, like punk (“Voluptuous Panic” is the ultimate party banger), but compared to their live performances, the double bass is hardly audible, thus missing an important element of the music. The female lead vocals come through a bit more, and somewhat resemble the singing of the Berlin punk rock band JOHNNIE ROOK. So, there is real singing, but not with angelic voices. Too many whiskies have flowed down the throats of the two singers. And then there are the lyrics that are bursting with physical desire, greed, and affection.
The band's debut, despite some points that could be improved, has a lot of charm, eroticism, and rock'n'roll. It has soul!
