DOWNLOAD: Spinnerette - Rebellious Palpitations + Sex Bomb (Adam Freeland Remix)
I imagine there are thousands of young men, now aged somewhere between 21 and 25, who at one point in their young lives cherished no woman more than Brody Dalle. For the retro-punk rock fraternity circa 2002, Brody was perfect: she had more tattoos, a bigger mohawk and looked like she could beat us to a pulp, and The Distillers' first two albums indulged the confused fantasies of adolescent males as in thrall to The Clash and hardcore punk as they were to their stash and, er, hardcore gunk. Spinnerette is not as much dirty fun, but Brody still sounds like she's been swallowing rocks, from her throat a feral howl backed by platforms of guitar fizz and, in Adam Freeland's slightly preposterous breakbeat remix, electro synth punishment. Brody Dalle is married, has a kid and is still harder than you'll ever be.

Spinnerette - Rebellious Palpitations
DOWNLOAD: Howlies - Sea Level
Even if their influences and sounds are about as wide-swinging and sweetly varied as what's going on in their home base of Atlanta, "Sea Level" seems the perfect introduction to the Howlies. A straight-ahead rock 'n roll burner with Chuck Berry flourishes, earworm vocal turns and lyrical allusions you could file under "CORRUPTING BABES," it's an awfully electric mission statement. Plus, they totally bark and howl like wolves. Try that out the next time you're talking to a lady. Works. Every. Time.
OH YEAH: If you wish to devour more of zee Howlies, please come back in a week's time for an extra special exclusive of brachiosaurus-sized proportions. That's nerd for gigantic. And awesome.
