Track of the Day

Weak – Paranoid & Sunburnt – Skunk Anansie.  Is it punk?  No.  The close-harmony singing from amazing front-being Skin isn’t punk, it’s classic hair-metal (though, of course, Skin doesn’t have any hair, and may in fact be from another planet).  The lyrics aren’t at all shabby, either, and there’s an edge to the whole thing that just stops it being pure rawk and turns it into something… else.  You’ll try to sing along, but you’ll never reach the dizzying heights of the lead vocal.  A good helping of thrashy guitar and a socially aware lyric make it a weirdly alien production;  not really fitting any genre.  You’ll rock out anyway.
