TOTAL GUITAR REVIEW

SORORICIDE - VIDEO IN PRODUCTION

Award winning director Anthony Carpendale of Subterranean Films is creating a video for the upcoming Brand Violet track "Sororicide".

Here are a few stills to whet your collective appetites.

All we can say thus far, is that it involves Sally turning nosferatu with a couple of ladies from www.suicidegirls.com, and there's a whole lot of blood, (which smells curiously like treacle). Is this the end for Brand Violet? Have they forged down a route of desperate exploitation in an attempt to boost record sales? We certainly hope so.

BV APPEAR ON SONY RELEASED DOUBLE CD

Unreleased track "Head" appears along with other miscreants and wrong doers on the German compilation, "It's Not Just Boy's Stuff". Knight Rider is nowhere to be seen. As one fan deliciously puts it;

"Here there is finally a Sampler only with Girl Punks at the singing! And variedly is it also still! Here one finds something Rockabilly, Emo, Skate nearly only hit from the Pop Punk, over Glam Punk, Rock'n'Roll,! Who means the Donnas would be the none rocken can, should the Sampler get themselves and a better to be instructed be able! 2 CDs those really fun make!"

NEW INTERVIEW: Hopefully the young lady at MissMinx didn't take our comments about Avril Lavigne too seriously.
