Album number two of six for these Swedish glamsters. They initially called it quits in ’95 but reappeared in 2006 and have released three albums since then. I don’t think there will be more though because vocalist Andy Pierce died in 2013.
It’s got a bit more balls and crunch than Faster Pussycat, who Andy Pierce reminds me of. The album is filled with a lot of crunchy riffs and melody in the songs, and there is more variety in the material, ranging from blues to borderline metal and in Pete Espinoza they possess one killer guitar player.
Songs that should rock you are the excellent opening tune The Way Ya Walk with its killer riff, Cool Way Of Living with a more sleazy vibe, my personal favourite Alive N’ Kickin a great uptempo monster with a killer riff and groove, and running for a close second is Side 2 opener House Of Rock N’ Roll. When it’s done well like this, then I quite like the whole sleaze/glam vibe.
A totally fun record that should be played very loud on your way to the next gig.
8.5/10 from The Grooveman.
