- Following up the Original Sinners' self-titled 2002 debut, frontwoman Exene Cervenka opted for top billing on 2006's SEV7EN. Joined by returning Sinners guitarist Jason Edge and members of 7 Shot Screamers, Cervenka leads the band through revved-up tunes that recall the punk/rockabilly fusion of her early-1980s heyday in the legendary Los Angeles group X. "It Ain't Supposed to Be" kicks off the record with wild three-chord abandon, while the dusty, twangy "Ghost on the Highway" hints at Cervenka's work with X side-project the Knitters. With Cervenka's charmingly off-key voice as lively as ever, this assured release is tailor-made for fans of her most rocked-out material, and is solid enough to make an impression on even the most jaded X fan.
Professional Reviews: Uncut (p.102) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Cervenka's found a versatile, hard-driving quartet that pushes her songs into the kind of subterranean abandon in which they thrive."
