Australia seems to have the rights to all barroom rock n roll bands. I mean, just look at some of them: The Angels, Rose Tattoo, and the kings of them all, AC/DC- only to name a few. It must be something in the air…or the beer.
Theses guys are slightly different, as they seem to have a really good sense of melody coupled with a very Mid-West vibe. Formed in ’86, they originally made 3 albums, this of which is the first. Two singles were released from the album: opening track, Serpentine, and the best track on the album, Black Leather, which has a great swing to the groove and riff. Superb song! This is pretty basic stuff, stripped down rock n roll with no hairs and graces. Hot To Trot is another song I really like as it has a certain swing to the groove, and the AC/DC groove of Wildcat is another good song.
If you like that basic stripped back sound, then give this a try.
8/10 from The Grooveman.
