Linnea Quigley
and the Bi-Polar Bears-Surfboards and Chainsaws
Review by Gary Hill
Linnea Quigley is best known as a queen of scream in such b-grade horror movie nuggets as "Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowlorama", "Creepozoids" and "Return of the Living Dead". Those movies combine a healthy dose of horror with campy humor and a rather innocent, yet sexy form of raunch. These elements are key to this album as well. The disc is a fun exercise in punky yet catchy weirdness that is quite tongue and cheek. The album feels natural and real, and should please Quigley's fans, and those who were drawn to groups like The Runaways. She even covers a song by that band. I should note that the copy I have lists one track that is not on the disc. I can't be sure if that is just this particular pressing or all copies of the album.
The disc can be purhased at Linnea Quigley's website.
