The band Vicky Lovecat has a unique, fresh sound with roots in old-school alternative rock, comparable to the likes of PJ Harvey and Nirvana. Their debut album - No Praise No Blame (Selected Confessions and Status Updates) captures the versatility of their live set, from harmony-loaded ballads : 04.Song to Ville Valo, 05.Postman to hard rock anthems such as ; 01.Dead by love, 02.Trudyanne 03.Pimp
For this album, Vicky Lovecat and producer ZTT wanted to get down to the dirtier stuff, typical of old school recordings, using ambient microphones, room sounds with no cuts and layers. So when listening to No Praise No Blame, it feels very live, no filters between the band and the listener, powerful, gritty and real.
The disc contains 13 songs that refines the definition of post-grunge genre.
