  1.  

    Their lyrics are not smutty, they're juvenile/teenage-porn nonsense that is funny once and embarrassing afterwards. Reckless Love etc might follow the 80's cheese, but they try and keep it subtle enough so the quality music does the talking. SP don't keep it subtle, and so their (otherwise pretty good) music gets lost in the smutty and mostly pathetic jokes. Sure it's fun on first listen, but they are not a band to be taken seriously as a top-act nor one that makes albums with any longevity at all. A novelty band.

     

    Have you heard the new RECKLESS LOVE? The lyrics are WORSE!

     

    If you hate Steel Panther so much why keep reading INFO about them? Obviously you are fragile and sensitive and can't loosen up and have some fun. There's a reason why these guys can play WEEKLY shows and still pack the house.

     

     

    p.s. Has anyone actually heard much of the new disc? I have seen a couple of bad reviews of the new disc so far, which is a surprise as generally the press liked their previous disc...

     

    Just out of interest: Do you have any links to online-reviews? I've been looking for one, but to no avail...

  2. I'm not much of a Hardcore Superstar fan after owning 3 or so CDs and have stopped following them. However this popped up in the release schedule and I was wondering what people though of the tracklist. The first song is a new track.

     

    1. WE DON`T NEED A CURE

    2. WE DON`T CELEBRATE SUNDAYS

    3. MOONSHINE

    4. MY GOOD REPUTATION

    5. WILD BOYS

    6. SOMEONE SPECIAL

    7. DREAMIN` IN A CASKET

    8. INTO DEBAUCHERY

    9. HERE COMES THAT SICK BITCH

    10. LAST CALL FOR ALCOHOL

    11. BEG FOR IT

    12. LIBERATION

    13. BASTARDS

    14. MEDICATE ME

    15. STANDIN` ON THE VERGE

    16. STILL I`M GLAD

    17. HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND

    18. SHAME

    19. HONEY TONGUE

    20. RUN TO YOUR MAMA

     

    I'd replace a few tracks (mainly "Into debauchery" and "Run to your mama") but overall I think this is a pretty good compilation for starters.

  3. Both bands are going to have a new album out around March/April according to their facebook-pages!!

    It's absolutely obvious that these two are going to be pure awesomeness :christmas:

     

    Here's the "press"-release from Crazy Lixx:

     

    "CRAZY LIXX NEWSLETTER

     

    After releasing “NEW RELIGION” 2010 CRAZY LIXX will now enter the studio this friday to record the follow up and third album.

     

    We will be in the studio til’ mid-november and the album shall be finished before new years 2011.

     

    Release date is not set yet but somewhere around march 2012 is when it should ship out.

     

    CRAZY LIXX is still with Frontiers Records and did recently sign a publishing deal with Sony ATV"

  4. After quite a few spins "Age of the Joker" has easily become my favourite Edguy album so far! That being said, I haven't been into Edguy pre-Rocket Ride (I don't like Power Metal) and I enjoy their new classic-rock vibe a lot.

     

    Plus, "Fire on the Downline" is a perfect 80's-style AOR-song to my ears!

  5. So, samples are up for all songs over at amazon:

    Animal Attraction

     

    I liked the debut, but thought it was far from flawless. The new one sounds like a step up to me, seems like they found their style. I still think I wouldn't listen to this band if they didn't have that big major-label production, as I think that Oli is a pretty average singer.

  6. Great cover, so 80's, I love it. Even more excited now!!!

     

    Agree! Looks fantastic and the 80s are all over it!

     

    Btw: There's a digital b-side for "Hot!" available, called "Young&Crazy", you can check out a sample HERE. Love the chorus!

  7. I don't have much time now, but here's one more for you to check out:

     

    Santa Cruz (Finland):

     

     

    These guys have a new EP coming up and I wouldn't be surprised if they get signed to a Major label in the near future following in the footsteps of Reckless Love.

    Seriously, I think this is one hell of a band and with a little guidance of a great producer they could go far. Check out "Anthem for the Young and Restless" and "Over the Limit from the upcoming EP:

    Santa Crut Hitlantis

    :party421:

     

    This is pretty good stuff. Do they not have their own web presence anywhere? I can't even find a Facebook or MySpace page for them, much less their own site.

     

    They got a Facebook-page, although it's hard to find because of their bandname:

  8. Love "Critter" (judging from the circulating live-clips) and I'm absolutely sure that I'll end up liking the newbie even better than "Feel the Steel".

     

    When I heard FTS for the first time I was unsure whether I'd still like the lyrics after a couple of spins, but as a matter of fact (maybe because English ain't my native tongue) I still like them and seriously there ain't THAT much difference (as pointed out by others) between a Steel Panther song and a say Danger Danger song – they're just more to the point :tumbsup:

     

    Judging from various interviews I even get the impression that Steel Panther have become more serious in their love for their music, so I wouldn't even call them a parody-band anymore, but maybe that's just me...

  9. Just stumbled across a new Swedish AOR-type band called Sencelled which is on the same label as Houston and produced by Ricky Delin as well.

    The album is out in September, samples sound quite promising:

    Sencelled

     

    And as already mentioned in another thread Blessed by a broken Heart have a newbie coming, which according to their press-release is a lot more "Hair-Metal" and less "Screamo" than its predecessor.
