CoC : Scrub - Wake Up! : Review

Scrub - _Wake Up!_
(Sol 3 Records, 1997)
by: Adrian Bromley (7 out of 10)

With the surfacing of numerous acts fronted by female singers (for example, Manhole, NY Loose, and Crisis), it is no wonder that the floodgates are now open and bands are just popping up with female singers. Meet Scrub, an aggressive, diverse hard rock band that seems to possess the attributes that these female fronted bands are supposed to have: heavy grooves and echoing female vocals which work off a strong groove. Such is the case of Scrub, except the band pushes their music away from the standard sound a bit more since the band not only keeps the screams and groove consistent, but also remembers to add some diversity to their sound. They mix it up with a bit more melody. They don't exactly stay away from following trends and styles, but they still provide us with something a bit different to chew on.
