Album Notes

ABOUT MISS CRAZY: A generation ago, historic rock artists like Alice Cooper, David Bowie, and KISS showed your parents that they were not living in the 50's or 60's anymore. These legacy bands incorporated stunning imagery and stage theatrics to elevate the standards of rock performance worldwide. Many 90's bands like Marylin Manson, Slipknot and AFI continued the tradition in spirit, while blazing their own sonic trails. Now, a generation later, Miss Crazy arrives on Earth to reignite the flame of hard rock while honoring the visual standards set by their forefathers. Expertly produced by Ronnie Borchert, Miss Crazy is bringing the sound of excitement back to jaded music fans around the world. Your parents might compare Miss Crazy to their old favorites like Def Leppard, AC/DC, Kix, or Cinderella. However, kids your age won't have anything to compare Miss Crazy to - no other major band today sounds like Miss Crazy! We also invite you to join us at www.myspace.com/misscrazymusic.

ALBUM REVIEWS: Album Review by Revalationz Magazine, April 2006 Brian McGowan Producer Ronnie (Trixie) Borchert has captured an exhilarating spark of spontaneity in many of these tracks, yet the album accumulates to a cohesive, coherent, head turning rock’n’roll noise, occasionally unpredictable, but never self indulgent. Opener ‘No Compromise’ intros with a guttural, recurring chant, before a steamrolling riff breaks through, pushing the song into the darker side of Cinderella territory. Any decent label would have signed the band on the strength of this one distinctive song. Thankfully, there’s plenty more good stuff. ‘Billie’ and ‘Life’s Been Good’ maintain the momentum with driving, pounding riffs and wiry lead guitar. Markus Christopher’s broken glass rasp elevates the balladic ‘You’re Blue’ to Tom Keifer level, giving the song a fractured, menacing spin. After ‘No Compromise’, ‘So Long’ is probably the album’s standout track, striking more of a grownup pose against a thirsty riff and a simple, repetitive beat. Arguably, the band paint from a limited sonic palette, but the songs embrace just enough aural hooks to grab our attention. Borchert plays his part by further ensuring that there are enough inventive and effective moments scattered among the strums and stomps to hold our interest. ‘Miss Crazy’ will not win plaudits for originality. Few albums in this genre will. That it plays impressively to the past without sounding clichéd or overly derivative is a tribute to the band’s songwriting skill and Borchert’s intuitive production. Album Review by Hardrock Haven, April 2006 Derric Miller Can you name one band that is not black metal who wears white makeup and black lipstick? No? Well, you can now, thanks to Miss Crazy. Like their heroes KISS, Miss Crazy dons makeup to give you more than just a great sound. Their package is as visual as it is sonic, but they are here to make a hell of a lot of noise regardless. Miss Crazy's debut CD comes with a cover showing a speaker melting, barb wire criss-crossing the scene, and also the Japanese letters "M" and "C." Their makeup will remind you of Kabuki, so therefore, the Japanese letters fit right in. But what about the music … Not since Cinderella's Night Songs has a band come from out of nowhere and just screamed "look at me!" like this. The opening track, "No Compromise," introduces you to lead wailer Markus Allen Christopher, who sounds like the offspring of Tom Keifer, Joe Elliot and Brian Johnson if they could genetically impregnate the same lass 33 percent each. While that isn't pos
