Critical reception

In a review of the CD, published by Jenni Cole [ [http://www.musicomh.com/albums/soho-dolls_0807.htm# Soho Dolls - Ribbed Music For The Numbed Generation : album review ] ] of musicomh.com, Cole states that:

"In lead singer Maya von Doll, they even have the best rock'n'roll name we've come across this year. They're burlesque glamour and sleaze, wrapped up in clothes they've raided from the dressing up box while trying to decide whether tonight they're going to be The Horrors, Strawberry Switchblade or a circus troupe of young Keith Richards lookalikes. If that wasn't great enough, the music is brilliant. Upbeat, disco-tinged without being cheesy, taking all the best parts from glam and adding them to a Gothy, new century cabaret chic that no doubt translates brilliantly into live performance. Their opening number, Stripper, is Maya addressing the audience, introducing the band and talking you through the evening's activities - metapop, anyone? Lyrically, their songs are simplistic, but fun in the way they're not taking themselves too seriously. From the Goth-friendly My Vampire, a cute little tale of girl-loves-fangman, to the punktastic Trash The Rental (chorus repeat hook: 'Trash it trash it! It's just a rental'; last line: 'Pull down all their fences/We'll take 'em, it's our offensive') to songs of eyeliner and weekend clubbing, this is pure feel good music."
