No tracklist or description yet. I don't know how to post artwork. (Added it for you, Charles. :) -- Linda)

This all-girl garage group from Norway is on Little Steven's Wicked Cool label. The really good title song has recently been played every week on the Underground Garage.....kind of a musical mix of garage meets Springsteen. This should be a very good CD.

Review
"This foxy female fivesome from Oslo, Norway, is the perfect mixture of sweet and sour, combining girl-group harmonies and sass with gritty rock 'n' roll fervor to produce a high-octane hybrid that should have all the hepcats dancing....This is a non-standard garage-hard rock-surf-pop band that manages to mix up the formula to keep things fresh." --The Hartford Courant

Product Description
The music of the Cocktail Slippers is inspired by The Go Go's, Ramones, The B52's, Foo Fighters, Blondie and MC5. They manage to keep the energy, attitude and power of those legends. Yet, this album isn't just about the dynamite influences. By pouring energy into their writing, they deliver their own set of killer songs on MASTERMIND. The catchy melodies and sing along choruses will win over any crowd!

They remind me of the Aquanettas, a band I sorely miss.

Title song of the new album is great, though I don't hear any Springsteen as the OP wrote (that's fine by me). I look forward to hearing more!

The song was written and produced by Little Steven.

I think the tune does have that early Bruce New Jersey sound......songs like "Two Hearts" sound similar.

The fact that Little Steven wrote the song makes it seem more likely.

Over the weekend, Little Steven played 4 other songs - titles: In The City, Don't Ever Leave Me, Anything You Want, and You Do Run.

This album is definitely going to be worth getting - I'm picking it up.

(Amazon still doesn't have the full tracklisting as of this post)
