In brief, the new album from Sahara Hotnights is 34 minutes of up-tempo punk-pop fun.

Reviews from Muze/Rhapsody and All Music Guide:

Instead of digging up age-old guitar riffs from long-dead bluesmen, Sweden's Sahara Hotnights seem intent on playing up the celebratory aspect of basic rock 'n' roll. The songs are big and loud, but the exuberance is all pure pop and glam rock. If you dig handclaps, low-slung guitars and chicks, you'll love this.

Vocalist Maria Andersson shines as a singer; she's vocally focused in her delivery while the harmonies coming from the Asplund sisters are equally fine-tuned, making Kiss & Tell fun right from the start. From the brassy cheers of "Hot Night Crash" and "Who Do You Dance For?" to the foxy Runaways-like impression of "Walk on the Wire," the energy of Kiss & Tell seduces you to twist your hips like never before.

[ I will now acquire this record. I didn't know they had a new one out, but their prior two are both really damn good - was just listening yesterday, as it turns out. What I'm really looking forward to is seeing them live again. They played Echo Lounge a while back (over a year, at least) and completely rocked the fucking house. I've seen a lot of shows, but they stood out for the pure hold-nothing-in-reserve intensiy. In my top 20 shows of all time, easy. -k

edit: FUCK! Aparently i missed them back in July. How the hell did that happen!]
