With a name that in itself is an innuendo & a interesting album cover, as well as some dirty sounding song titles
No Time For Tenderness immediately asks you for a listen. But not "nice" asking, like say a Folk album, Legal Fingers pinches your butt (if you're a girl) & says "when & were ???". Pretty much all the songs are about Sex, with slight forays into Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll, but who ever said lyrical focus was a bad thing. Titles like
Downtown Prowler, Fuck City & Meat Candy indicate that Legal Fingers aren't taking themselves too seriously & just want to have fun, all the time. If I were to call them a Sleaze Rock band (which I think they are), it would complete the image of another Motley Crue wanna be band, however Legal Fingers are far more unique than that. Whilst Glam/Sleaze Revival bands like Hardcore Superstar & Backyard Babies have their own place & are good, their kin are a-dime-a-dozen, Legal Fingers aren't. Rooted more in what they call "Good Old Fashioned Rock 'n' Roll" influenced by (in their words) "Strippers and booze". A timeless drunken Saturday night party committed to tape, with more tongue in cheek posturing than most bands are brave enough to exhibit. (I Just Wanna Get All Right) Tonite!, which is ULTRA catchy, is an excellent example of their mostly unique, alcohol drenched sound. An underground band, so support them if you can, they are living the dream, so help it stay afloat.
Best Tracks: (I Just Wanna Get All Right) Tonite!; Top Off, Rocks Off, Hop Off; Meat Candy
Bandcamp (help them out, they deserve to not work day jobs with monstrous hangovers)
