WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING:
- "Ladies & gentlemen, reaquaint yourselves with JOAN JETT, feminist icon, DIY-rock pioneer and ass-kicking rock goddess. Joan is back with a stellar new cd, "SINNER." (Dan Nailen, Salt Lake Citry Tribune)
- "SINNER" is one of the best and most ferocious pop-punk albums of the year!
(Jim DeRogatis, Chicago Sun Times)
- "She's amazing. Not only is her set rad, she's really cool. For someone like JOAN JETT to be out here, she's on a BMX bike and she’s going around saying 'hi' to everybody, and I saw her playing baseball the other day -- she's totally down-to-earth and cool and ready to hang out. She's punker than anybody out here." (Tim McIlrath of Rise Against)
- "Look out Pink, move over, Sleater-Kinney. Jett propels the flight with super-infectious tunes and anthemic, sing-along ready lyrics, pointing fingers and rallying her troops." (Philadelphia Daily News)
- "Her voice is remarkably young. There is nothing everyday about her: she is the hard-rock Dorian Gray." (Sia Michel, New York Times)

- "The legacy's not about to stop...JOAN JETT is still playing by her own rules."
(Amber Ray, Metro New York)
- "JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS stole the show - yes, even from Helmet and AFI. How? By playing genuine songs with memorable melodies, big, fat hooks and the I-IV-V chord progressions associated with punk's first wave. Right on, Joan. The teens in the Warped tour crowd went crazy. (Jeff Miers, Buffalo News)
- "SINNER’s a winner, full of tracks brimming with sass, grit and totally ambrosial power-pop harmonies. A-." (Tom Sinclair, Entertainment Weekly)

- "Jett has never sounded more vital and stands proud as more of a heroine than ever!" (Jim DeRogatis, Chicago Sun Times)
- "As the BADASS INSPIRATION TO COUNTLESS punks and hard rcokers, JOAN JETT will always be an icon. SINNER comes across with always endearing results,especially "A.C.D.C." and "Androgynous." Both fit her live a glove - black leather, of course." Barry Walters/Rolling Stone
- "With the music industry churning out cookie-cutter pop-stars and the outside world broiling in social intolerance, Jett’s new cd arrives not a moment too soon. 3 out of 4 stars!" (Elysa Gardner, USA Today)
- "JOAN JETT’s best album in years. Jett’s still the toughest female rocker outh there, despite many challengers." Michael Gallucci/The Cleveland Scene
- "The listener will either shit, go blind, or get a hair raising erection." (James Porter/Time Out Chicago)
- "SINNER hearkens back to another time, when rock was simple, sincere and all sexed-up."
(Sara Graham, Bust Magazine)
- "Indestructible rock & roll gladiatrix JOAN JETT. She’s vulnerable, vicious and certifiably brilliant. JOAN JETT remains an incomparable force." (Jonny Whiteside/LA Weekly)

- "On SINNER, JOAN JETT comes out fighting with insanely catchy tunes that make Courtney Love look
like Hilary Duff." - Annie Zaleski/Alternative Press

(Kurt B. Reighley/The Stranger)
- "SINNER’s" got rebel-yell anger ("Riddles") and it’s got lust ("A.C.D.C.") It swings ("Everyone Knows") and it thrashes (the Clash-like "Change The World"). Even when Jett purrs, she roars. It’s utterly inspiring!" - Fred Mills/Harp Magazine
- She's back and bad as ever!!!! – (Alexandra Gill/The Globe and Mail)
