Riff-shredding, ass-shaking, louder-than-life Morningwood is a glorious hodgepodge of personalities, backgrounds and influences — much like their NYC hometown. It’s no surprise that Morningwood’s debut is a bit of a party record — a cross between decadent sunset strip swagger, bubblegum pop in hard rock clothing and that knowing cheekiness that only a female rock star can pull off songs like “Nu Rock” and “Body 21” erupt out of the speakers, as catchy as they are searing. “Take Off Your Clothes,” which Morningwood fans have been known to take literally at live shows, reflects the band’s unabashed sense of fun. “Nth Degree” is a roof-down summer love song and call to the dancefloor that will not be denied. And throughout the album the band takes daring hairpin turns with their dynamics — “Jetsetter” in particular goes from flirty whisper to epic hard rock stomp in the blink of an eye, before lovingly destroying everything in its path.
