The widely celebrated music of MISS DERRINGER mine the dark and oft-times twisted outlaw landscape of punk disaffectation, New Wave disdain, 50s girl-group attitude and hip-shaking pop. The new album WINTER HILL bottles their unique formula and serves it up straight, no chaser. "Our music is like the Shangri La's duking it out with Duane Eddy and The Misfits," explains guitarist Morgan Slade. "Visually,
someone said we are like a band from the movie Beetlejuice... and oddly, it fits!"

Launching with the playful opening track "Click Click Bang Bang" with a propulsive upright bassline and Blondie-styled shimmy, the album kicks off with a 'bang' and doesn't let up. From the twang-fueled girl-group send-up "Black Tears" to the velvety forelorn angst of "Death by Desire" to the dramatic "Drop Shot Dead" (which could be a lost song from West Side Story), the album creates an almost visceral aural backdrop to a story that doesn't even really have a storyline.

Loosely based on the infamous 1960 mob war between the Winter Hill gangand their rivals that took place in Boston, this isn't quite a concept album as it is a period piece. "As I read more and more about the gang (damn Wikipedia!), I realized that a lot of the music we find inspiration from like the Shangri Las, Ronnettes, etc. was probably coming out of the car stereos while a gangster in the back seat wrapped
piano wire around the neck of a gangster in the front seat," explains Morgan.
