Hey, when did L7 get back together? Wow, they’re still just as good, dark, nasty, gnarly guitar work with growly tough-girl vocals that really hit you smack dab in the rock and roll nerve, but they seem a little slower, a little more Gothic … er …. wait … hmmm … this isn’t L7, but a threesome called Hazard County Girls. Huh. Well, still, yeah, this is pretty good and gets you moving right along in time. On DIVINE ARMOR, guitars and drums mesh well, and Donita Sparks’ vocals …. um, sorry, I mean Christy Kane’s vocals serve as the perfect angry counterclash to the driving beats. And they do a fucking brilliant cover of The Louvin Brothers’ “Knoxville Girl,” here gender-switched. A great dark rock disc that should be in your player for those whiskey-fueled nights. Oh, and it comes with a Frankenstein guitar pick, so how can you resist? –Mark Rose
