Raw Power

As the saying goes: not all that glitters is gold. But then again, not all that is gold necessarily glitters. It was this idea that struck Finnish singer Tarja Turunen as she began work on her seventh solo album, “In The Raw”. “Gold - we think - is something polished and perfect, sophisticated, a luxury, but in its natural state, it’s a raw element”, explains Tarja…

A 2010 inductee into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame as a member of THE STOOGES, James Williamson is now set to make his most stylistically diverse musical statement to date with his new group, JAMES WILLIAMSON & THE PINK HEARTS. Fronted by Los Angeles-based vocalists Frank Meyer (THE STREETWALKIN' CHEETAHS) and Petra Haden (THAT DOG, THE HADEN TRIPLETS), THE PINK HEARTS' repertoire encompasses everything from feral rockers to soul-searching balladry. "Behind The Shade By James Williamson & The Pink Hearts" will be released on LP+CD, standalone CD, and digitally by Leopard Lady Records on Friday, June 22.

After the successful release of “In The Raw” in August 2019, Tarja is now sharing a very special treat with her fans. “Extra Raw” contains seven very special versions of songs from the studio album and displays the versatility of Finnish singer Tarja.

A huge selection of work from the Outsiders – not the group who recorded famously for Capitol in the late 60s, but an early UK punk combo who features some fantastic vocals and guitar from the young Adrian Borland! The Outsiders definitely have a sound that's in the spirit of 1977 – short, sharp, and very tight – but Borland also has chops on the guitar that most of his contemporaries do not – which means that even in the small space of these cuts, you'll get some guitar solos that link the music both backwards towards some more expansive British work, and the sound of the American scene of the 80s – when early punk groups started to learn their instruments, and solo a bit more.
