Trashcan Darlings-Real Fucking Make-up!

Strangedolls

2008



This is a collection of A sides, B sides, previously unreleased material and even some new tracks from apparently one of the better real glam bands of the last decade. The oldest tracks here are from the band’s early days of 1997 and the most recent tracks are from last year plus it of course includes plenty from the years in between as well. The strongest influence is likely Hanoi Rocks as they show the same disregard from traditional song structures at times. Although Trashcan Darlings are a bit less quirky than Hanoi and probably have a stronger dose of early 1980’s punk rock injected into their music and their attitude as well. They waste little time in kicking into high gear on most of these tracks as they rip off some real down and dirty rock with all the edges intact. My favorites aspect of their music is that it all sounds very natural like they don’t worry with the planning, but they just go with it. I have no clue as to whether that’s actually how they approach their music, but that’s the feel I get from listening it. You can hear the slight changes in style over the years as I think they got tighter with experience and they were able to spread out a little more as well. Great album with 18 tracks and the booklet which includes background information on all of the tracks.
