Dirt! Soda!

Last year, AJ Lambert released the acclaimed debut EP from her post-punk band Bloodslide and an album of her re-imaginations of songs both classic and obscure Manhattan Beach, Swept By Ocean Breezes. She’s taken another daring turn with her new album Dirt Soda. AJ assembled a band featuring Parker Kindred (Joan As Policewoman) and Rhys Hastings (Yves Tumor) on drums, Dave Harrington (Darkside) on guitar, Kenny Gilmore (Julia Holter) on synths, and AJ on vocals, Taurus pedal, piano and guitar for the record. She wrote most of the album’s tracks but also takes on a pair of 90s indie rock titans with her versions of Pavement rarity “Strings of Nashville” and Codeine classic “Broken hearted Wine”, and also covers The Casinos’ “Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye”. Adventurous and raw, it is a collection of distorted anthems from a daredevil artist with a voice that can handle any genre.

AJ Lambert is a daring artist who always takes a thrilling and unexpected turn whether it’s making her solo albums, or as front-woman and bassist of beloved post-punk band Bloodslide. A unique song interpreter like her grandfather Frank Sinatra and her mother Nancy Sinatra,
