The
Peawees are a rock and roll band from Italy. They have been around for 20
years. I have never heard any of their records though. This is their 5th
album (they have also released a lot of 7” records) and features 10 tracks of
straight up rock and roll inspired but the early days of rock and also the
slick 80s. The CD digisleeve is nice
with all the lyrics and a lot of information. Walking through my Hell starts
things off with a solid rock and roll song but not that memorable (Check out
the video below). A Reason Why keeps the pace about the same but throws in a
bit of organ to make the music a bit different but this one is a bit of a slick
garage rocker with a guitar solo, only school Chuck Berry style. Stranger is a
real throw back to the early 60s rock and roll including the cliché piano! Christine is a bit more of the same but a bit
faster paced, just good time rock music, ala the Kinks but not as original.
Justify slows things down and features a bit of organ here and there and some
great singing. Leave this Place raises the pace again for another dose of
catchy R&R with a dash of organ. Phil Spector has that old footstomping
rock and roll feel, as you would expect in a tribute to the crazy Phil. As long
as you can Sleep is another track not unlike others on this record. Til my Mojo
Works closes the record. This is a solid rock and roll album but the band are
not really offering anything new or exciting here. Just straight up old school
rock and roll music.
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
