Trust Me This Is Going To Hurt (red)
Fresh off a triumphant Kickstarter campaign, Trust Me This is Going to Hurt dials up the darkness from 2021's Something's Got to Give. Recorded at the legendary Perry Vale Studios with punk rock maestro Pat Collier, the album fuses the grit of The DeRellas' live-wire performances with a twisted glam-punk edgethink David Lynch's Blue Velvet meets Rocky Horror Picture Show, spiked with Alice Cooper's menace and Screamin' Jay Hawkins' howl. It's heartache, hangovers, and pure unfiltered attitude in a single glittering package. Classic Rock raves it's "infused with the spirit of the Heartbreakers, Dead Boys, MC5sblazing," while Vive Le Rock calls it "a trash-talking sizzling album." OriginalRock.net hails it as "another filth-smothered pop-shot winner," and Louder Than War dubs The DeRellas "the bastard offspring of The Ramones and The Heartbreakers."
