With NINJA DOLLS, a new, young, and fresh band from Sweden is introducing itself to the rest of Europe. The album title already indicates quite well where it is headed, namely forward. The thirteen songs of the album also move forward. Originally, the bassist and the singer had the idea to create an all-girl band when founding the group. However, since it is not so easy to find girls who can play well and have punk rock in their blood, the two founding members decided to also include male members in the band. Since 2001, the band has been making its mark. In 2006, the band released its debut album. Whether this was available in Germany, I cannot say. Neither the album nor the band were known to me until now. The band offers lively and energetic pop-punk rock on their second long player. It moves forward and is quite enjoyable musically. However, the singing takes some getting used to at first. Victoria's vocals are mixed very prominently, making them quite dominant. Since Victoria can sing and does not scream, the album can be listened to well after a short adjustment period. NINJA DOLLS partially remind me of THE VAGEENAS in style, which I do not see as a bad comparison. The band has already been able to achieve some success in Sweden and is also played on the radio. However, I doubt whether this success can be replicated in Germany. Our radio stations simply are not bold enough. Here, people are just happy when Die Ärzte play on the radio. Nevertheless, it is nice that NINJA DOLLS are gracing us with their second album. A tour through Germany is planned for the fall.
