5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Incredible, July 18, 2004

Gina Gerhson absolutely incredible. Do you remember the first time you heard (take your pick) Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, The Ramones, Patti Smith, White Stripes.......well, here it is again - that same feeling - rock and roll guts.....so it doesn't matter what the other reviewers say...this one has it and the only way you will really know is if you listen to it yourself. If you like real rock and roll, real intensity, no holds barred.....get it.

The band - actually playing (versus the movie band) is Gina Gershon vocals, Gina Volpe guitar piano backup vocals, Cheri Lovedog guitar, Sara Lee bass, Samantha Maloney drums (on all songs except Studiostar). Studiostar was done by Gina Gershon, Linda Perry, and Patty Schemel. All songs were written by Cheri Lovedog (with help from Grace Chapman on Every Six Minutes and Stephen Trask on Bitter Pill).....except Studiostar, which was written by Gina Gershon and Linda Perry.

The band in the movie is Gina Gershon (Jackie) vocals & guitar, Lori Petty (Faith) lead guitar, Shelley Cole (Sally) drums, and Drea de Matteo (Tracy) bass.

At least this is the info on the CD linear notes and on the web movie sites. If the truth is different, it doesn't seem to be out there yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, Gritty, punk type rock, April 1, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Prey for Rock & Roll (Audio CD)

Gina Gershon is a natural, and much better then most female rock vocalists out there nowadays. This music is gritty, raw, and filled with strong hooks and melodies. It reminds me a bit of bands like Misfits, Clash, Donnas, Motorhead, early Motley Crue, and Divinyls. This album sure has a lot of attitude too, delivered in a very convincing manner. Production is very Motorheadish. This does not sound like 2003, more like some time between 78-83.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great album by a non existant band, November 10, 2004

To be honest, I didn't care much for the film "Prey For Rock & Roll". I found it depressing an inexessible. Not so for the soundtrack CD! Excellent punk/metal with obvious nods to Iggy ("stupidstar", "the ugly", "my favorite sin"), Patti Smith ("pretty pretty", "every 6 minutes"), Joan Jett ("Ms. Tweek"), Courtney Love ("4 Into 3") and X ("punk rock girl", "post nuclear celebration"). Best song: the title track. Interesting that one of the best punk albums of this decade is from a band that doesn't even exist! Here's hoping Gina Gersion continues on this track and gives us another CD.
Other good soundtracks to not-so-good punk movies: "Hard Core Logo", "Josie N the Pussycats" and, of course, "Great Rock & Roll Swindle".
And "Clam Dandy" fans should buy CDs by The Gits- who, no doubt were the inspiration for this movie.
