Eleventeen is the debut album by UK alternative rock band Daisy Chainsaw, released in 1992.[2] It was their only album with Katie Jane Garside as lead vocalist. It peaked the UK Albums Chart at No. 62.[3] Three songs from the album were released as singles. 'Love Your Money' was the biggest hit, reaching No. 26 in the UK Singles Chart,[4] while follow-up 'Pink Flower' was a UK No. 65.[5] In 2014 Buzzsaw Records announced a double CD special edition of Eleventeen, which is available on daisychainsaw.net.[6]

Critical reception

The Washington Post wrote that the band "follows Garside's Yoko Ono-ish vocal contortionism and Crispin Gray's squalling guitar to the outer edges of the song form."[7]
