Undeterred, Post regrouped Veruca Salt as her own project, with a new lineup of guitarist Stephen Fitzpatrick, bassist Suzanne Sokol, and drummer Jimmy Madla; in the wake of the corporate merger that swallowed Geffen Records, Post also elected to jump ship, signing a new deal with Beyond.

 Veruca Salt - Eight Arms to Hold You   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Chicago alternative rockers Veruca Salt have just released their second full-length album, Eight Arms to Hold You (also the rejected title for The Beatle's Help LP), and this should please the pants off fans of candy coated pop-rock, but will, undoubtedly, disappoint those expecting an even rougher more intense sound than their previous material.
Veruca Salt do manage, however, to break out of Ma and Pa's sweet shop just long enough to deliver a few solid chunks of rock candy.
A little more of these type songs and a lot less of the syrupy sweet ones that dominate Eight Arms to Hold You and Veruca Salt might be destined for a lot more than just their own Saturday morning cartoon show.

 Veruca Salt IV, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
Surprisingly tough and vicious, Veruca Salt's fourth album -- appropriately and simply titled IV -- is the record Louise Post attempted to make with 2000's Resolver, the album where she took control of the group after Nina Gordon's departure.
Post doesn't stray from Veruca Salt's strengths -- this is still the sound of mid-'90s alt-rock, equal parts heavy grunge and wistful, witchy pop -- but her band is tightly wound and hits hard, giving her songs a muscle they lacked last time around.
IV may lack the humor and sexiness that made American Thighs so memorable, but a decade after Veruca Salt's heyday, Louise Post has gotten tougher and stronger, as this assured comeback proves, and in its own way, that's equally appealing.
