Fine. I’ll admit it. I love Gothic Lolita fashions. I love the frills, the lace, the teeny tiny top hats and adorable little crowns. I love wearing the clothes, making the clothes and now especially I love the music.

What? You haven’t heard of Gothic Lolita music? Then you must not have heard about RazorBladeKisses. Formed in 2000, RazorBladeKisses is a “Toybox Goth Band” that boasts a delicious blend of unique sounds that hail from across the world. I recently got the chance to review their new album “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Scar” which will be released early 2010 and I’m in love. I normally don’t care much for what I’ve heard of “Lullaby Rock” because most of it’s a poor blending of cutesy little girl vocals thrown together with whimsical rock music, but this is a completely different category as far as I’m concerned.

I was skeptical at first, I’ve had to endure a lot of hit and miss as far as new music has gone lately and it has jaded me a little to the point where I wasn’t really interested in taking a chance on anyone new until something really grabbed me. Well this band really grabbed me. I popped my headset on to listen to the album while I was doing dishes and I listened to “Pretty Dead Doll” first. The sexy, dark sounds hooked me right away and forced me to give the music my full attention on the first round and I ignored the dishes completely to just sit down and listen to the album a couple times over. Okay, I’m lying, I danced to it for a while too because I just couldn’t help myself.

I was blown away, there’s a song on the album for every mood. “Pretty Dead Doll” is a great song to just dance to, “New Nightmare” is my favorite song to listen to when I’m at the gym and need something keep my pulse pumping and “Teddy” just has some great lyrics I can’t get out of my head. The songs have some great energy without being thrashy or crazy aggressive, the instrumentals and the vocals compliment and support each other without one overtaking the other and my only complaint thus far is that my headphones don’t play the music any louder.

And talk about adorable! I would love to see this band play live. They’ve got the image to go with the tunes and they look absolutely gorgeous in curls, frills, top hats and ties. The effort and dedication to their style is obvious and something I love about them. I’ve seen a lot of bands use their fashions and image to sell crappy music and I’ve known great musicians who put not effort at all into their looks and it’s sometimes a tough balance for the best of them. Not so much in this case, RazorBladeKisses actually matches the sound to the look.

So my conclusion here? Go buy this album, as soon as it’s released. At the very least, go visit their MySpace page and listen to some of their songs and get hooked, then go buy the album. Or better yet, if you’re in the UK and you get the chance, go see the live and then tell me what it’s like in order to make me jealous.
