Local
all girl outfit Jinxed has released their debut on One Eleven Records titled
beyond The Obvious. Following in the tradition of The Runaways, Joan Jett
and The Bangles, the band, Kristen Reilly (guitar and vocals), Jenna Rocco
(drums) and Sarah Danna (bass), plays harder edged power pop with a feminine
perspective. The band has also scored a gig as the house band on
Comedy Central’s Premium Blend an honor once held by now defunct local
band Major Healy. With lots of reverb, echo and big power chords the band
scores on the tracks “Crying Out”, “Relentless”, “Underhand” and “Everybody
Hates The Winners”. The more ballad sounding CD closer “Public Static Final”
is a keeper as well. For more on Jinxed and their new release Beyond The
