It's been almost five years to the month since Tsar put out their great self-titled debut. We first saw them at the 1999 Poptopia (and also in 2000) where they blew everyone away with their high energy power pop/arena rock frenzy. A growing buzz led to their signing to Hollywood Records where we all thought they'd be the next big thing. Unfortunately, it never happened and their deal with Hollywood ended last year. A new deal with TVT was struck shortly after and out comes their second album, Band-Girls-Money, proving once again they're still the one to beat. This record is the perfect summer, ragtop down so your hair can blow, PCH cruiser soundtrack. For longtime fans, the track you'll want to hear is "The Love Explode" which recalls those huge choruses that we loved on the first record. And the chorus on "You Can't Always Want What You Get" is the perfect remedy for all those missing those days when L.A. Guns, Ratt, and Faster Pussycat ruled your world.- Band-Girls-Money
