Search - Sirens :: More Is More

"What the Detroit Cobras are doing to sixties R&B, these foxy ladies seem to be doing to seventies glam rock. Definitely on my Top 10 of the year." - LowCut "Kids, if covering Suzi Quatro, Hollywood Brats, and Ike Turner ain't a show of class (and passion) then please show us the door." - DETROIT METRO TIMES "Wham bam, thank you glam!" - VILLAGE VOICE If you walked into a seedy drag bar and found The Sweet, The Shangri-Las, and Slade all onstage together, drinking heavily, they would sound something like The Sirens. This Detroit-bred all-covers group-who has been produced by the illustrious Jim Diamond and the Flaming Lips' Michael Ivins-formed in 2000 and subsequently released their first full-length album on the Get Hip label. The members are so firmly entrenched in their city that the band didn't play outside the 313 area code until well into its fourth year of existence. And yet, to quote Sirens leader Muffy Kroha, "we were getting buttloads of fan mail from everywhere in the world before we had ever even played north of 8 Mile." The band's "buttloads" of fans were graced with a tour in 2005, with dates supporting Nashville Pussy and The Bellrays, and then The Sirens returned to the road in 2006 for more touring, to debut a new batch of killer covers for what would come to be this new album: More Is More! More Is More isn't just the name of The Sirens' new album-it has been the band's credo from the beginning. The band's most excessive and glittery album to date features impressive versions of glam-rock killers by such luminaries as Slade, The Shangri-Las, Girlschool, The Bay City Rollers, David Bowie & The Spiders, and The Sweet. And, if that wasn't enough to pass the glam rock exam, how about Poison's "Talk Dirty To Me" as a bonus track?! Excess in excess is what The Sirens are all about. Prepare to experience the glitter, corsets, gold lamé suits, eighteen-inch heels, codpieces, and voluminous hair. Indeed! More Is More!
