Influences - Veruca Salt - American Thighs



Veruca Salt are best known for their 'Seether' single but that was just the tip of the iceberg.

Although I am a fan of all of their albums, Veruca Salt were fantastic in the beginning with this debut 'American Thighs'.

This has influenced me so much it's hard to know where to begin. They are the perfect blend of Aerosmith and Belinda Carlisle, (I've lifted that straight from my own interview with Nina Gordon, one of the original founders), because it's just the best way of describing the band's sound.

I think what inspires me the most about it and the reason that I can still play this often and never get tired is that I don't know of many other female musicians who can marry soaring harmonies with those perfect guitar solos. Finding a female who can play a really great guitar solo is a joyous thing.

If you don't know this album...get to know it, its fab!
