Badpenny – Special Racer

Special Racer, Badpenny

Special Racer, the debut full length CD from Badpenny combines raw female rock vocals with spare instrumentation to come up with a catchy and cool CD. The songs have that raw, gritty, rebellious anger that has always powered rock and roll. The rhyming choruses stick in your head for days. The instrumentation consists of a three piece combo of guitar, bass, drums with Sandeigh Barrett’s haunting vocals over the top. The eleven tracks have evocative, yet disturbing lyrics. From the song “Butterflies and Fairies:” “So Please get outta my car. I’m goin’ to drive away before I smash your face in.” “Waste of Time” is about unrequited love and/or stalking. “Lazarus” has these lyrics: “I didn’t know I could raise the dead.” “Underbelly” asks: “Can I be your favorite Whore?” All of which is that much more interesting/disturbing when sung by a hot female vocalist. Some of the production qualities could be better, nobody’s going to accuse this CD of being over-produced, but the songs come through loud and clear. It’s a cool trip down some of life’s darker alleys with a roots rock-based soundtrack.
Buy this CD and enjoy the ride.
