"I Wanna Be Famous" by Samantha 7

CC DeVille is the flamboyant guitarist from the glam rock band, Poison, but he completed a one-off side project with other musicians back in the late 90s called Samantha 7. Their work together culminated in the release of their only record, a self-titled LP released in 2000.

In Samantha 7, DeVille takes the mic with a raspy voice that scratches through the pop hooks. The band's music is more punk than hairband, more Green Day than Poison. The songs are short and sweet and, honestly, the record is a blast to listen to from beginning to end. Standouts include "Framed," "Cover Girl," "Seane Girl," and this one, the single, "I Wanna Be Famous." With proper promotion back in the day, I could see Samantha 7 being stars in their own right.
