STILETTOS - Lolita 7'' 1980

Second 7inch today with this rare and excellent PowerPop 7inch from the Stilettos. Founded in Bordeaux in a cellar in the city center that the group shares with other bands and they released a few 7inches and one album. This record here is their 2nd on Black Sword records. The title track is a decent PowerPop pearl with a driving cool bass line, damn melodic guitars and perfect played, made to hear it again & again, a catchy tune. Side b as well, with a reggae rhythm and mid-tempo in the middle, goes no better. With this record the Stilettos have made a really good single and let's see if I can rustle up another. In 1984 the band (no official dissolution) broke up. In 1991 the Stilettos reform for a single concert, same in 2004.
