I'm happy I threw my dogs outdoors, filled my glass with bourbon and
lit a spliff before I put this promo on loud. Why? Well, the press sheet
said that this gang is made up of members of Demon Cleaner and Greenleaf.
That alone is enough to catch any stoner’s attention.
If the classic phrase "Listen without distraction" applies to
anything it's to music like this. Already on the first track I recognize
the Swedish "Borlange" craftsmanship. These are kick ass musicians
with a great deal of experience that would turn any rocker green with
envy. It grooves like a motherfucker in mid-tempo with Singe's voice,
warm and huge, dominating the soundscape. A great sign is that my glass
of Wild Turkey is empty before the boys are halfway through this first
track. I pour myself another one and feel grateful my ears are in the
way, or the smile on my face would split my head in half. This, brothers
and sisters, is the kind of music that you play to get a party going,
to ride and to cruise to, or just to feel really good. Great melodies,
riffage de luxe and "big" sound. The kind that fits perfectly
for outdoor shows. Singe's voice reminds me quite a bit of a young Dave
Wyndorf and one can feel an early years Monster Magnet vibe in there.
When they pick up the tempo a bit I get a tremendous early Orange Goblin
feeling and my foot goes straight through the floor. Not one half assed
song on this promo, ladies and gentlemen.
