Hadn't thought about these guys for a good while. Can't tell you how many people me and my room mates turned on to the Medusa LP. Definitely Free inspired, or the other way around.

This band never needed the "for a girl band" tag. They were flat out good. You can hit 'play', or just admire the still shot of Vicki and Susanna. But hit play.
