I think she covers a wide range.

Just checked this one out. (Turns out my boyfriend has it in his collection.) It's heavy and their singer does have a very different sounding rough female voice. I'll be burning this one until I can find my own copy.

Saw them recently on the hottest chicks in metal tour. I love the fact that their singer also plays the accordion. That's certainly part of what makes their sound so different - like metal circus music.

They were also really fun to watch live.

I'd love for this forum to become a little more active. Besides, now I know what my new purchase for the week will be. Thanks dude.
