Our Take

Ah, the New York Dolls—their influence on rock 'n' roll is as unmistakable as their outrageous glam rock style. With their latest album, "Actress: The Birth Of The New York Dolls," the iconic band takes us on a nostalgic journey back to their roots in the streets of New York City.

From the moment the first track kicks in, you're immediately transported to a world of glitter, leather, and pure rock 'n' roll attitude. The band's signature sound is as raw and energetic as ever, with frontman David Johansen's distinctive vocals cutting through the guitar riffs like a knife through butter.

Each song on the album is a reminder of why the New York Dolls were and still are one of the most influential bands in the industry. Tracks like "Personality Crisis" and "Trash" are instant classics, while newer songs like "Bad Detective" and "Jet Boy" show that the band still has plenty of tricks up their sleeves.

"Actress" is a testament to the band's enduring talent and creativity, proving that age is just a number when it comes to rocking out. Whether you're a die-hard Dolls fan or a newcomer to their sound, this album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll with a touch of glam. So grab your leather jacket, throw on some eyeliner, and get ready to party like it's 1973 all over again.

About the artist

New York Dolls

The New York Dolls: the original glam rock provocateurs, the ultimate sleazy rock 'n' roll band, a whirlwind of glitter, attitude, and killer tunes. Formed in 1971 in the seedy underbelly of New York City, these five misfits took the music world by storm with their gender-bending fashion sense and raw, high-energy performances. Fronted by the enigmatic David Johansen, known for his snarling vocals and larger-than-life persona, and backed by the equally flamboyant Johnny Thunders on guitar, the Dolls were a force to be reckoned with. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1973, was a shot of adrenaline straight to the heart of the rock scene, with anthems like "Personality Crisis" and "Trash" becoming instant classics. But it wasn't just their music that made the Dolls so iconic; it was their entire aesthetic. From their over-the-top stage outfits to their wild antics offstage, they were the epitome of rock 'n' roll excess. And while their original run may have been short-lived, their influence can still be felt in the punk and glam scenes today. So, if you're looking for a taste of the New York Dolls' unique brand of rock 'n' roll madness, dive into their discography and let yourself be transported back to a time when music was loud, wild, and wonderfully, unapologetically decadent. The New York Dolls may be gone, but their legacy lives on, a glittering reminder of a time when rock 'n' roll was pure, unadulterated fun.
