ORAL – Oral Sex (ep)

Banda feminina obscura do Reino unido. Lançado pela Conquest Records em Junho de 1985, o ep “Sex Oral” trazia seis faixas de puro Heavy Metal oitentista. Apesar da boa intenção e atitude das meninas, o grupo nunca alcançou seu lugar ao sol, desaparecendo meses depois. O Oral era formado por Bev (Vocal), Monica (Guitarra), Cady (Baixo) e Dee (bateria). De todas as músicas, a de maior destaque foi “Black Leather”. Abaixo você confere alguns comentários sobre o disco feitos na época."Why bother with the music at all? Just put out a 12" piece of plastic with crotchless black lace panties over the hole in the middle." - Kerrang!All girl band Oral asked for that quote really, a quick look at the song titles on their sole release the "Oral Sex" Mini LP ensured that they were dismissed instantly by press and potential fans alike.In actual fact they didn't have to bury the music so deep behind their wall of innuendo and tittilation, the choruses are catchy enough to ensure headspace after a few listens, despite the ropey production.The whole image sham backfired on the Brighton based band spectacularly and they faded from view after a very short fifteen minutes of fame indeed.
