Quote: "This blond-haired musician with the fresh ink and dark shades is a gutsy rocker, rather than any frail musical flower."
By Dan MacIntosh
Leanne Kingwell is pictured on the cover of New Tattoo with a tattoo – presumably her new one – showing distinctly on her left shoulder. This blond-haired musician with the fresh ink and dark shades is also a gutsy rocker, rather than any frail musical flower.
Kingwell is probably not the kind of girl you take to church on the first date, and you’ll probably want to give it long and hard thought before bringing her home to meet mum and dad. On the crude “Drop Your Pants,” she announces: “You could grow up, you could piss off, you could shut up, you could f-f-f**k off.” Sit her at the back of the church, if you must, and hide mom's hearing aid.
This is a loud rock CD, from start to finish, and Kingwell has a strong enough voice to hold her own among all the roaring guitars. There is also enough variety to keep things interesting, such as the garage groove that lightens up “Drop Your Pants,” and the hand-clap-y beat that pushes “My Hero (Better Than You).”
This lady rocker is from Australia, an island fully populated by prisoners -- they tell us -- once upon a time. Maybe that’s why she’s a lady rocker, but no true lady (Wink, wink, if you know what I mean).
Tattoos are overt signs that a person is serious enough to put his her or her feelings into skin art. Kingwell is dead serious here, and is no doubt a real deal rocker.
