Plumstead, England

Shampoo is a duo of punk rock Barbie dolls barely out of their teens, hailing from Plumstead, England. Jacqui Blake and Carrie Askew both handle vocals in a highly energetic and barely intelligible fashion, and both have enough attitude and downright sass to make critics on both sides of the Atlantic go ga-ga over their primitive punk and sly innuendoes. Even though their talent is barely discernible, Shampoo is a knowing and clever joke and loads of fun. We Are Shampoo, their full-length debut, features all of the jaw-dropping singles released in Britain, including their anthem, "Trouble," which was featured in the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers soundtrack. Girl Power followed in 1996. ~ Heather Phares
