The killer Australian
hard rocking quartet are back with their 3rd full length record and
it is another great set of tracks, starting off with the song, Black Dog Keep
Running. This track has all the bands signature elements, a great riff, some
killer guitar solos and a catchy groove! Blessed is the Boogie for sure has
that Status Quo groove and features some harmonica as well. This one gets your
head shaking! Looper is a bit slower with a heavier guitar riff, reminds me of
a slower Atomic Bitchwax (they also have a track with this chorus-
Shitkicker!). Run with Lucy (Check it out below) brings back the boogie and a bit of southern rock
feel with the slide guitar and nice harmony guitar parts as well. Last track on
side A, the band do a cover of an old song by Jessie Hill, which has been
covered by a lot of folks including Wilson Picket, Ike and Tina, Paul Revere,
etc.. This version stands out with a great organ solo by Bob Patient. Sounds of Gold kicks in with the drums
followed by the main riff and then the rest of the band joins the groove and
off we go. One of the more catchy tracks and quite short. Evil People Pt. 2
does indeed have a darker vibe and is complimented by the organ and at 3 mins
it gets down and funky with a great bass groove and nice bluesy solo. I wish
they had extended this out a lot longer but sadly it fades out. Damn.. Not for
Me is a sort of slower ballad like track with a more laid back vocal and a nice
guitar solo.
Cat on a Roof follows and is in a similar
vein to the previous track and a lot like their more mellow tracks on other
records. Nice wah guitar solo. The City of Lights closes out another set of
excellent songs. I just really love this band. I really hope they get over to
Europe to play one day. It is time!!
