  3. Hell N' Diesel "Passion For Power"

    in Sleaze Glam

    Posted

    So what's going on with this band?

     

    The last disc was out in 2006 but haven't heard a thing since.

    Anyone know anything or if these guys are even together anymore?

     

     

    off the top of my head, i'm pretty sure their myspace says that they are no more.

     

    I ain't sure about that! I think (and hope!) they are still together, but a little bit under the radar at the moment...hopefully preparing a new album.

     

    btw: Passion for Power was released Fall 2007, so the wait hasn't been THAT long ;)

  4. TREAT - COUP DE GRACE

    in AOR and Hard Rock

    Posted

    Ok, this album has some REALLY good songs.

     

    Example: I'm Not Running (hi-res complete song)

     

    Starts off with a bit of a modern vibe, but then takes off bigtime!

     

    -Dan

     

    Dan,

     

    They must be taking the piss with this track surely??

     

    This is either a blatant rip off or a cover number -

    Mind you I dont know who originally wrote the track. If Treat didnt they could be in trouble..........esp changing the name of the song :unsure:

     

    By the way the Stanfour debut album is excellent if anyone's is interested.

     

    Cheers

     

    Hmm...Anders Wikström has been writing songs for quite a few Pop-artists in the last few years (together with Fredrik Thomander), so it probably is written by him! At least that's what I hope...

  7. Wigwam

    in Sleaze Glam

    Posted

    Received this one today and gave it a couple of spins. I am probably the only one who was a bit disappointed with Wig Wamania after the excellent Hard to be a R'nRer, as it contained quite a few weaker tacks towards the end and overall was much too short.

     

    I'm glad they left off any instrumentals this time and I like the grittier sound they now have. The disc is missing a real stand-out track like "In my Dreams" or "Gonna get you Someday" on the previous discs, but there are once again quite a few gems hidden on Non Stop Rock'n'Roll ("Wild One", "Still I'm Burnin'", "Rocket through my Heart" or "Chasing Rainbows"). I agree on "From here" being rather weak and I think "All you wanted" isn't really that good, but overall I'd say this is pretty consistent.

     

    Wig Wam are still doing their thing very well, but somehow my excitement for the band has faded over the last 4 years, mainly because there are even newer bands, which are doing it even better imo. Non Stop Rock'n'Roll is a very good album, but somehow I doubt that it will end up in my Top 10 at the end of the year!

  9. Crazy Lixx - new album in 2010!

    in Sleaze Glam

    Posted

    Jesus, im in love with those soundbites. Seriously if the whole album is that good, i cant see anything beating this for album of the year.

     

    I mean they are wicked.

     

    Even better than i had hoped for!

     

    Cheers

     

    Backed 100%!!

     

    I haven't been listening to samples of any album that much before. Judging from the demo-samples in the background of their studio-blogs, the other songs I've heard are just as good! "The Witching Hour" and "Children of the Cross" seem a bit heavier, more like "Boneyard" and "Hell or High Water" from the debut, while "Voodoo Woman" seems to be in the same vein as "My Medicine".

     

    The period from February to May is gearing up huge, probably the best and most consistent period since 20 years, if not better! Crazy Lixx, Crashdiet, Treat, H.E.A.T. and Reckless Love just to name the cream of the crop! :bowdown:

     

    Amazing times ahead! :banger:

  12. Casablanca

    in Sleaze Glam

    Posted

    Casablanca is a new band with member of different Swedish bands, which has been under the radar recording its debut, produced by Chris Laney. Ryan Roxie is the lead-guitarrist!

     

    I like the sound of their single...70's glam vibe mixed with some 80's backing-vocals.

     

    Their debut is coming out around April! Looking forward to it.

  14. Krokus -Hoodoo

    in AOR and Hard Rock

    Posted

    Still I'm looking forward to this one and its entering of the Swiss Charts at number 1 B)

     

    Have they ever had an album that didn't enter the Swiss chart at #1?

     

    Actually, as strange as it may sound, "Rock the Block" was their first enter at Number 1 back in 2003 and in fact the only album so far that peaked at 1!

  16. Krokus -Hoodoo

    in AOR and Hard Rock

    Posted

    Their new single unfortunately sounds a bit meh...just a bit too simple and monotone for my taste. I hope there are better tracks on this disc.

     

    Still I'm looking forward to this one and its entering of the Swiss Charts at number 1 B)

  19. Glam Junkies sleazefest tour diary Part 2

    in General Music Discussion

    Posted

    Nice read! Enjoy your time in Stockholm and be sure to go to the Harry B James on Friday for the "Crazy Nights"-party! This is as good as it gets for Sleaze/AOR-lovers...

     

    Have a great one!

     

    is this on every Friday or only some Fridays?

    have seen some gigs advertised at this place but nothing whilst i am here.

     

    Did a little more cd shopping today. Nothing out of the ordinary, just some new stuff.... picked up the new Mama Kin disc, and the first 2 Bullet discs. Might give the 2nd hand stores a try again in the next day or 2. I think i'm up to about 40 cds so far.

     

    The party is on every Friday! Here's the link for you:

    Harry B James

     

    I've only been there once during my vacation past summer, but it sure as hell was a great party and I'm planning to get back there next year. It's a very nice place to hang out!

    There seems to be some live-music almost every night, even when it's not advertised. So, if you've got no concert to attend on Friday, I'd recommend a visit. Girls, girls, girls ;)

     

    Did you get to speak to the Midnight Cowboy guys? Are they already planning their debut (full-length)-album?

  23. Good 80's Style Rock. New! Reckless Love.

    in AOR and Hard Rock

    Posted

    I saw the video on MR.com and I have to say... and no doubt I will be hated and feared from this point forward... but it's more of the same overproduced Scandinavian AOR masquerading as rock. Don't get me wrong, it's very well done and the guys are talented, but this, and Brother Firetribe, and H.E.A.T., etc. just doesn't float my boat. I guess I just need more grit and more teeth in my music... :(

     

    I do still like Wig Wam though, those guys have something different amid all the production and gloss IMHO.

     

    I do agree with you somewhat. I never got into HEAT and didn't understand the Europe comparisons that much and I do have one BT disc and it's good and all but I much prefer Pekka's other band Leverage for the heavy progressive but still melodic style. I do love Wig Wam to. Sure it's cheesy but they rock it up a little more than the other bands mentioned. I dig the Reckless Love single okay but would want to hear more of the disc before deciding to buy or not.

    Oh man, sorry dudes but I have to disagree 100 times over and then double it! This song just made my night. Tackiest filmclip ever, but the song made me damage my pants with huge spurts of sem... fun. I had fun in my pants. Seriously, I love that SOOOO much. I don't know if it's just the "bomb" in the title but it reminds me of 'Love bomb baby' in it's over the top infectious nature - which is what I love. This has immediately gone in the top 5 most anticipated releases of 2010 for me. :)

    :lol:

     

    Agree with Geoff (although my pants remained dry), but this is seriously catchy stuff and fits Olliver Twisted so much better than Crashdiet did. Check out "One more Time" as well on the band's Myspace-page! It is a bit more "rock" than Beautiful Bomb...
