Product Description

One of rock music's original renegade bands has re-emerged to once again assassinate all conventions and expose the cruel yet forever glorious face of rock 'n' roll. The band, SNATCHES OF PINK. Their weapon, a MoRisen Records debut entitled HYENA, and their ammunition, a volatile, apocalyptic cocktail of swaggering punk, unabashed glam, and boisterous rock. Vanguards of North Carolina’s celebrated and inventive rock scene, SNATCHES OF PINK have been heralded by the critical press over the last decade for their shadowy and compelling rock ‘n’ roll style, releasing two groundbreaking albums under the SNATCHES OF PINK namesake and one under the ‘Clarissa’ moniker while sharing bills with the likes of The Ramones, Johnny Thunders, The Cramps, Iggy Pop, and Soundgarden. In describing the band, SPIN declared: "Snatches of Pink would rather rip it to shreds." Rockpool opined: "Snatches of Pink have obviously soaked up all the sweat on Johnny Thunder’s dripping guitar and all of the Doll’s malcontent theories, and turned it into a reservoir of unkempt, unruly garage crunch." About SNATCHES OF PINK’s live show, Magnet poignantly described: "Snatches of Pink left me exhausted – one part drunken noise orgy, one part spiritual cleansing and numerous parts hammer of the gods. Arrogant, excessive and beautiful."

4.0 out of 5 stars Killer rock 'n' roll, January 13, 2005

Any lover of rock 'n' roll must own this one. Dolls, Thunders, punk w/ good songwriting.....It's got it all: grungy (not GRUNGE)open chords, really cool lyrics, great shouty/singy vocals, drums about to fall apart (yet played well), driving bass lines, and just right "hands off" production. These dudes are smart but don't let that get in the way. There is no pretense here 'cause it's all in their blood. ANd whether yr a Bowie fan or not I'm sure you'll at least like, if not love, their cover. I know MainMan Michael Rank can write too. He knows all about everything from Nick Drake to Led Zeppelin to Hanoi Rocks and isn't afraid to show it. Buy it. Also buy all his other stuff- Mr Rank's solo work, early SOP and Clarissa, if you can find 'em! It's worth it big time. And....The early incarnation of SOP w/ Andy McMillan on bass and Sara Romweber on drums(sister of Dexter)are also amazing.

This review is from: Hyena (Audio CD)

So put another dime in the jukebox baby, and make sure you pick a Snatches of Pink song. "Hyena" is an amazing display of ballsy hard rock with skilled writing and arrangements. Plus the name is hilarious. I just like telling people I meet about how much I love Snatches. Ha ha.

Seriously though, buy this record. if you like rock music, you won't regret it.
