Rating: 10/10


Money back to anyone who doesn’t agree that is the most exciting rock and roll release of 2000. Grand Fury is the second album from Los Angeles band, The Bellrays, who are lead by the incredible vocals of Lisa Kekaula (for those who haven’t heard the hype, she does bare a strong resemblance to a young Tina Turner) Put a singer like this in front of any dynamic rock band worth its salt and the results are going to be dynamite and The Bellrays don’t disappoint. Despite being recorded live on four-track, Grand Fury is a blast from start to finish and the basic recording actually helps create a manic live-wire mood (not that The Bellrays would give a fuck what anyone thinks judging by the front cover). The Bellrays’ conviction and passion is something to be cherished in these days where most bands seem to have the look down but lack the requisite soul.
