"SINNER" is JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS' first studio album in more than a decade, and it proves once again that Jett is a woman who can rock as hard as any of her male counterparts.

JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS, "SINNER" (BLACKHEART RECORDS). JOAN JETT has always been cool. As a member of the RUNAWAYS, she proved women could rock as hard as guys, no matter what Paul Stanley of Kiss might have suggested. Following the RUNAWAYS collapse, she started the BLACKHEARTS, launched her own record label while Ani DiFranco was still in middle school, and became one of the finest punk rhythm guitarists this side of Johnny Ramone. "SINNER" is Jett's first studio album in over a decade, and it lives up to her best work. In your face from the get-go, blending power-pop charms and punk grime, frank sexual issues and political commentary, it's vintage Jett & the BLACKHEARTS. The songs are short, sharp and too the point, and Jett's sneering rhythm guitar slides nicely against DOUGIE NEEDLES' lead work throughout. Look for Jett & the BLACKHEARTS on this year's Vans Warped Tour, hitting Darien Lake on Aug. 1.
