Our Take

In their latest release, "Red Patent Leather," the iconic New York Dolls are back with a vengeance, serving up a deliciously retro blend of glam, punk, and rock 'n' roll that will have you strutting down the streets of Manhattan with a newfound swagger.

From the opening chords of "Don't Mess With Cupid," it's clear that the Dolls haven't lost an ounce of their signature attitude and rebellious charm. Lead singer David Johansen's gritty vocals cut through the mix like a serrated knife, while the band's raucous guitars and pounding drums provide the perfect backdrop for his scathing lyrics.

Tracks like "Stranded in the Jungle" and "Pills" showcase the Dolls' knack for crafting catchy, infectious tunes that stick in your head long after the record stops spinning. And with a cover of the classic "Seven Day Weekend," the band pays homage to their musical roots while putting their own unique spin on the track.

While "Red Patent Leather" may not break any new ground, it's a solid, no-nonsense rock album that will appeal to both die-hard Dolls fans and newcomers alike. So slip on your most outrageous outfit, crank up the volume, and get ready to party like it's 1974 all over again. The New York Dolls are back, baby, and they're here to stay.

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.
