Yeah, yeah, I know, your sister’s in a band too, and she plays at local venues and has Myspace stalkers from Wisconsin, just like mine. But does your badass bass-playing sister have a nationally distributed album coming out on August 21? No? I didn’t think so.

Sally Hope does wear shoes on stage, I swear.
See, my sister’s in this band called Poets and Pornstars. They’re classic rock-n-roll, in the vein of Joan Jett and the Rolling Stones, with a little G’N’R thrown in for good measure, and they’re actually really fucking good. And yes, I may be biased, but if I didn’t actually like her music, I wouldn’t lie about it on a public blog – I’d just buy her album and shut the fuck up.

Me and sis, who's just pretending to be drunk and passed out.
Instead, I’m telling you to go to their Myspace page, check out some tunes, and then, on August 21, visit your local record store and purchase their self-titled debut. Or keep an eye out for them while they’re on tour with Tesla. And yes, I know, Tesla, ha ha. But is your sister touring with Tesla? No? Suckers.

"in the vein of Joan Jett and the Rolling Stones, with a little G’N’R thrown in for good measure"
ha! after listening to the leaked copy of this album, I can safely say it has little resemblance to ANY of the aforementioned artists. If you pick up this thinking you'll hear anything near the caliber of Joan Jett, the Stones, or early GnR, you're in for a big disappointment. Just another marketing shtick band. Let's face it, they had to put a sexy female in the mix just to get anyone to pay attention. I suspect the vocal correcter will be in full effect with this gem.
P.S. - Don't tell me to shut up until the final release is out... I have never ONCE heard a leaked copy that was any different than the final edit.
