Punker JOAN JETT reintroduces herself with new album, SINNER
from: canada.com

Click to enlarge NEW YORK (AP) - JOAN JETT may be 45 now, but that doesn't mean she's outgrown punk.

"I never subscribed to the idea that punk rock means you have to play fast and scream," Jett told Newsday in Sunday's editions. "To me, it means being a rebel, being an underdog, being outside and doing it yourself."

With a new album, SINNER, released on her own BLACKHEART RECORDS label, Jett is reintroducing herself to a generation that probably knows her only as that lady who sang I Love Rock 'n' Roll in the early '80s.

After appearing on the Warped Tour, Jett plans to embark on her own headlining tour in October with the Eagles of Death Metal tentatively slotted as support act.

Jett, one of the few active, well-known female rock artists around, is frustrated by the putdowns she hears other female acts get.

"People will really cut down women - really get nasty - for no reason at all, just because you're trying to play music," explained Jett. "Most women choose not to go that route, because that's not the kind of life they want, sparring with people for the rest of their lives. But this is all that I've ever done. And it's my job now to be the warrior, and to fight."
