5.0 out of 5 stars Check out the lungs on this chick, July 15, 2007

Jesus, just check out the lungs on this chick! One of the five best rock singers working today. Bourbon and smokes are in a race to define her vocals, and everyone wins. Pity the poor slobs playing behind her, because they are making a heavy racket behind her that one could easily overlook. Guitar work that combines great melodies with hard rock riffs to combine for a faster-louder esthetic that the Dictators would have been proud of (but with better vocals -- sorry Handsome Dick). Just try NOT to flail around playing air guitar. Five stars.

Can't say I agree at all with the critical vocal bashing I've read in a couple of the other reviews. Let's cut right to the chase...Robyn Miller can flat out sing. Her vocals are powerful when they should be and likewise smooth when it time's to come down a few notches. Robyn is joined by a talented trio to complete the band and together they rock. The Peels are a kicking band and their deput CD is a great addition to any collection. Don't be surprised to see 'Only Son' or 'Lay' gain common radio play. Highly recommend this buy...

The Peels are a hard rock band from San Francisco. They were once based in Seattle. This is their first CD as far as I know. They are visceral. They are a powerful group. They want to rule. The song "Only Son" has the feeling of something great. The singer Robyn Miller is really good, especially on "You Talk Too Much." She reminds me of someone in between The Distillers and maybe a little like Von Iva. "Lay" sounds like a lot of Swedish punk. "Gold Chains" has the sound of a lot of hard rock from the 1970s. That is what I noticed on my recent trip to San Francisco. There are a lot of bands like Parchman Farm who seem obsessed with the rock styling of Blue Cheers and AC/DC. This band is fun and likes to rock out. You should check them out.
