Hailing from Vancouver, this BC trio of noise makers were new to me until recently when Rob at Music Madhouse Records played me a couple of tunes and I was hooked. They defo have a retro in vibe and groove but with a lot more balls. Think Led Zeppelin mixed with early Motorhead and a sprinkling of The Black Crowesmliving in an RV in deepest Louisiana.
This is the band’s third album that came out in 2018. Emphasis is on killer rockin’ tunes with a ripping groove and stacks of hooks and melody. Mama Boogie is the one that grooves the hardest. A super cool riff that swings just right and a great trippy solo from Ben Yardley on guitar. Yup, it’s my favourite track.
However, there is so much more to enjoy about this album. Black River takes you right back to what was great about 70’s rock bands. Cool riff and a simple catchy chorus that sticks in your head. Feel It In My Bones is pure old school sleazy Aerosmith, and Warlords feels like Lemmy era Hawkwind.
If retro is your thing, then check these guys out.
8.5/10 from The Grooveman.
