Princess - Reviewed by Benjy Mudie ("Rock of Ages", Radio 2000)

Great female rockers are as rare these days as peace in the Middle East and the ones fronting the current crop of modern `rawk` bands, (Amy, Juliet, Avril, etc.. back to the Barbie dolls) hardly qualify to wear the mantle of 'Rock Goddess'... they just dont have the power, vocal chops, or that essential `f**k-you-china` live attitude that makes a truly great rock singer. Well, let me tell you that Jo Day has all those things and more on what is probably her best album yet.

Roaring out of the speakers like a hellbound train, 'Princess' is steeped in the timeless rock tradition of bone-jarring guitars, shuddering drums and songs that have more hooks than a Paternoster fishing fleet. Crank the amp to 11 and leap around to 'Going Down', 'Twilight Zone', the glammy metal of the title track and Benj`s car toon of the moment: 'Bitch'. PS: This is not a quiet record... Congrats to Jo and guitarist Jon Buckley for a brill rock production.
