​Lorraine Leckie and Her Demons (from the album Razor Wing Butterfly available on Ratlegz Records) (by Bryant Liggett)
Lorraine Leckie got a late start in the rock’n’roll game, adding to the time-put-in diversity of her sound. Picking up the guitar in her thirties, Lorraine Leckie had plenty of time prior to explore a breadth of sounds, living through Punk Rock’s beginnings and the mass expansion of Classic Rock to the explosion of angst music, delivering angry guitar sounds to every doorstep. Backed by “Her Demons,” the latest from Lorraine Leckie is Razor Wing Butterfly, a release hinting at everything from Siouxsie Sioux-inspired Goth to late 70’s Blues Rock, all played out under a Psychedelic umbrella. Razor Wing Butterfly opens with the haunting, theatrical “Only Darkness”, where Leckie’s vocals begin over a quiet guitar, eventually splitting to make way for Psychedelic riffs that carries the tune to its end. 
A violin opens “Vampire Moon”, walking a line between Grunge Goth and straight-ahead Pop. “It Ain’t The Blues” digs into gutter-Punk Blues, “Crickets” is dirty Folk, and “Mars” has a dark New Wave vibe. Wah-wah guitar work kicks off “The Other Woman”, featuring a surprising but just right electric violin in what could double as a cocktail lounge cut and “American Weeping” is a reality check that comes like a punch in the stomach. It’s a Stoner Rock cut that serves as a thank-you note to the last president and ‘I told you so’ in a song as Lorraine Leckie and Her Demons say “America, you fucked up’. Her Demons are a utilitarian Rock band, being the perfect group to easily move from through all the traditional traits. The use of the electric violin adds a Goth Classical touch, and Lorraine Leckie’s horror-movie vocal wraps it up in a delicious and weird, dark package.  (by Bryant Liggett)
