Halfcocked

Signed to Spider One's (Powerman 5000) Megatronic Label (in conjunction with DreamWorks Records) Halfcocked is a 3 woman 2 man band hailing from Boston with hard rocking songs that have a punk attitude and a glam image. "The Last Star" is the 3rd CD release for Halfcocked and the disc contains 13 tracks produced by Ulrich Wild (Buckcherry, White Zombie).

At times Sarah Reitkopp's vocals sound like Gwen Steffani from No Doubt if Gwen was allowed to rock out and Kay Hanley (Letters To Cleo) on the new Josie and the Pussycats soundtrack. Spider One from Powerman 5000 states in their bio that Halfcocked's sound reminded him of a combination of Blondie, Guns N Roses and Cheap Trick which is a fairly accurate comparison but in all honesty, the overall sound of the band is unique to themselves and quite refreshing.

The songs throughout the CD are very catchy without being water downed pop rock. "I Lied" (the first single) opens their latest CD with aggression and conviction while "The Last Star" shines with punkish attitude and bite. "Thanks For The Ride" is 2:34 of whirlwind fury and the 2:22 "Devil Shoes" is pure power punk pop.

Halfcocked has released 2 prior CD's on the Boston Indie label Curve Of The Earth "Sell Out" and "Occupation: Rock Star".

Considering DreamWorks smashing success with Buckcherry, Halfcocked is great addition to their roster as they also are a band that can site influences in 80's hard rock but are still able to put their own unique stamp on their songs. Halfcocked has a cool glitter glam image with kick a$$ songs and a fresh hard rock sound that stands out over most major label bands in the new millennium.  The CD will be released on July 10, 2001 on Megatronic Records.
