Description:

The bulk of this debut was recorded in a 48-hour frenzy at Tarbox Studios by Michael Ivins of the Flaming Lips. Taking his cue from a description of their sound as some where between the Shangri-Las and Black Sabbath, Ivins perfectly captures the lethal combination of loud fuzz guitars and serious singing that sets these girls apart from the usual “Detroit Garage Sound.” Of course, a rock record from Detroit wouldn’t be complete without Ghetto Recorders. This record is truly graced by 3 glam-basted, Jim Diamond produced tracks, including a cover courtesy of the little known in the states, pre-NY Dolls British rock kings (queens?), The Hollywood Brats. A speaking of covers, the Sirens unapologetically mine the endless supply of nuggets that inspire them. The offerings on this record run the full gamut of their flawless tastes from Roky Erickson to Suzi Quatro, the Equals to Timi Yuro. While firmly rooted in ’70s Glam, the girls defiantly place no restrictions on their musical horizons.
