New albums reviewed: Rock and Roll misfits Jazmine Mary and Ratso
I Want to Rock And Roll
By Jazmine Mary
Anyone expecting something like Joan Jett or Suzi Quatro from Auckland's Jazmine Mary on the basis of the louche, rebel-gal album cover here hasn't been paying attention.
Jazmine Mary is the noir-folk vehicle for Australian-born Jazmine Phillips, (they/them) whose downbeat The picked up Best Independent Debut at the 2022 Taite Prize and their follow-up DOG appeared in many best-of lists in 2023.
