Mensen

Delusions of Grandeur (Gearhead)
by Scott Hefflon

Three girls and a guy from Norway playing garagy rock, beloved by the Hellacopters, closing with a Stones cover… What else do ya need to know? Oh, mensen is Norwegian for menstruation, so you know yer getting something a little, um, dirtier, more honest, and, well, nastier than The Donnas… 14 songs in under 28 minutes, two of them being “Tommy Lee” and “Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!” The songs are deceptively simple, but subtle riffs and catches let ya know these girls not only know how to burn it, they know the chemical make-up of the fuel, dig?
