Following
in the footsteps of other woman fronted bands such as Blondie, Universal
Honey and The DiVinyls is the self titled debut from Morningwood. Hailing
from NYC the band is fronted by Chantal Claret along with bassist Pedro
Yanowitz (ex-Wallflowers), guitarist Richard Steel (ex-Spacehog) and drummer
Japa Keenon (ex Cibo Matto). The loud unabashed swagger is evident throughout
the eleven tracks and is a welcome sound to the music scene. Their take
no prisoners’ attitude is evident on the tracks “Take Off Your Clothes”,
“New York Girls”, “Nu Rock” and “Nth Degree”. A great party record you
