Morningwood’s sophomore album, Diamonds and Studs comes out October 27. With a name like Morningwood you might think this band is sexually charged, and you’d be right. In “How You Know It’s Love” lead singer Chantel playfully sings “When the Birds and the Bees are down on their knees/That’s how you know it’s love.” The first single off Diamonds and Studs, “Sugarbaby” (shown below) follows a puppet version of Chantel trying to find her Sugardaddy and doing anything for him. All-in-all this album is just fun. Hard guitars, catchy choruses, and a strong female rocker who makes no apologies. You can check out the full album before it comes out for free on Rhapsody.
Twin sisters Tegan & Sara are releasing their sixth album Sainthood next Tuesday. Honestly, though lets say this is the fourth, maybe even the third because the first two were pretty terrible but the third showed some promise. I’m excited for this release because I loved So Jealous, eventually loved The Con and I am hopeful about Sainthood. Since I haven’t been able to check it out yet I won’t give an opinion yet but the full album is available now on their myspace.
