Punchy, crisp and melodic enough to make Dave Grohl envious, the ex-Hole/Smashing Pumpkins bassist is obviously revelling in her new solo role.
Melissa's voice does resemble that of a female Brian Molko (cripes, now that's a mental image and a half, eh readers?), but 'Real A Lie' is streamlined, polished rock of the most proficient, absorbing kind.
