Tina Halliday is a big woman with a big voice. She fronts this four-piece band from Pennsylvania who formed in 2014 and blast out '70s riffs in raw MC5 style garage punk.
Hard Lovin' is, she maintains, "the only thing I know how to do" and proceeds to belt out such sentiments with a no holds barred attitude.
Nobody's Baby presents her as fiercely independent female who doesn't suffer fools gladly while Button Up is a 'fuck you' to all who doubt she means business.
This album length release - 12 tracks, 40 minutes - comprises remastered versions of the three EPs the Philly band have put out to date.

As the tacky band logo suggests, art-rock is not their bag. Here you get strident not subtle.
