Hiding behind a sleeve that looks like the kind of '70s blaxploitation flick you used to watch when you were 14 and your Mum was out for the evening lies a pretty decent piece of funky, soul-heavy bluesy rock, actually.
Frontwoman Elida has been described as the "bastard daughter of Bon Scott and Tina Turner" and though the midwife has been turning the guitar solos up to eleven this isn't altogether something that should be held against Tell Your Mama. On a big stage, in front of an up-for-it festival crowd, this could really grow wings and fly. It's as big and blousey as the Afro haircut it's sporting on the cover, singalong enough not to be taking itself too seriously and, all in all, a great piece of feel-good rawk-out fun to bring a bit of sunshine into the dreary days of winter.
Their press release is trying desperately to align them with Wolfmother but don't let it fool you: they're better than that.
