Review:
Sometimes you come upon a CD from a band that put out a sole recording effort and disappeared without the trace, and after few minutes with the CD in the player you wish the band actually made it, or in case of 80' sleaze rock bands, that Kurt Cobain blew his brains out some 5 years later (no hate intended).
  Dirty Blonde is definitely one of these bands. And while great technical skills were without a doubt a common thing in 80's rock, some bands still lacked musicianship. L.A.'s Dirty Blonde wasn't one of them. Songwriting wise they definitely put out a great effort.
  Passion, their sole full-length recording, is one of these records that leave you waiting for at least two more CDs of material. Not only is Passion full of solid hard rock riffs, but it is also rich in masterfully crafted melodies. Hell, you can easily say it's almost a melodic album, but still dripping with loads of sleaze.
  The sludgy edge is mainly courtesy of lead screamer Jimmi Saint James, whose vocal efforts are a mix of Skid Row's Sebastian Bach and Nitro's Jim Gillette. Songs like "I Got The Itch" and "Push Comes To Shove" are strong, no-frill rockers, while "Hooked On Lovin' You" and "Girls Nite Out" show the band's melodic side. The only songs that could be better are the sappy ballad "Hearts On Fire" and the absolutely strange cover of Jim Croce's "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" (I wonder where the band got the idea to cover this one?). However these two small misunderstandings don't put that much of a shadow over this great sleaze/melodic rock record.
  If L.A. Guns got more melodic in their heyday they might have sounded just like Dirty Blonde, and I guess that's enough to recommend Passion to every true sleaze rock fan.
