Attention Seeker
2 Red Light *** 3 Teenager in Love * 4 Hey Now (Acoustic) * Taking on the rock genre in their own way, The Regrettes bring a distinctly female variation on the previous male-dominated genre. Each song has its own strong guitar lead, with a brash drummer in the background. Even if a song starts…
