Phoenix, Arizona's own INNUENDO are no newcomers at any point. The band has been in the US indie Rock circuit for more than twenty years and have released their new album "The Road Not Taken".

This is their seventh record over the past 13 years and I had never heard of them before. A shame that it has taken such a long time for me to discover this very interesting band.

Innuendo delivers '80s inspired American Mid-Western AOR mixed with commercial, radio-friendly rock&pop from the same era. They have a very warm sound where melodies rule adorned with strong vocal harmonies.

We find a lot of ear-candy, well crafted songs such as the catchy "The other side of town" (bring to mind Franke & the Knockouts), the elegant midtempo title track akin Ambrosia, or the organic 'Waiting for you' similar to Dakota circa 1984.

'Little less grey' sounds a lot like mid-80s Canadian lite-AOR acts, while 'Going through the motions' adds a touch of early '90s rock&pop.

They offer a very good acoustic / electric ballad in 'Far be it from me', truly 'American classic rock' in sound.

Sporting a classy production (very fine for an indie) "The Road Not Taken" is very nice collection of songs not only inspired by the '80-style songwriting & arrangements, but also in terms of sound.

Innuendo is a really interesting band, and I'll be checking their past work for sure.

Wow, that is just crap in it's purest form. I'm still interested in the album and don't think this will represent the entire album... but jeez that is a shit song.

Yeah.... very disappointing.

 

It's another crap comment from me.

 

LOL (Lots of Love) @ Terry for liking this!

Fixed.

 

Thanks pal, I too love you.

 

 

Well played!

You know I'm just fucking with you right?

 

 

I fucking can't wait to fucking have my ears bleeding cranking this motherfucking album. This fucking band never fucking disappoints. Some fuckers don't like the fucking fucked up fact that they fucking use the fucking fucked up word fuck in a lot of their fucking lyrics. I don't fucking give a fuck. They are cool as fucking shit.

 

Fuck it! Get it! And fucking love it!!! FUCK!!!

And in their EPKs. Have you listened to it lol. Idiots.

 

 

Stop the motherfuckin' hate.

 

I'm fucking on board with that!

An all-girl band named THE STRIPPERS. They strip during the show and then are completely naked by the last song.

I fucking can't wait to fucking have my ears bleeding cranking this motherfucking album. This fucking band never fucking disappoints. Some fuckers don't like the fucking fucked up fact that they fucking use the fucking fucked up word fuck in a lot of their fucking lyrics. I don't fucking give a fuck. They are cool as fucking shit.

Fuck it! Get it! And fucking love it!!! FUCK!!!

Sorry dudes, not a fan. Pretty solid, but the songs don't hold my interest at all.

Agree with you!

It's another crap band with a crap name.

LOL @ Terry liking this garbage

Comment at another forum I frequent:

"Sign out please!"

Funny Stuff.

I thought it said they were throwing rocks but I read somewhere else they were throwing shit.

Which one is worse?

It's 90's grungy stuff but I do kinda like a few songs like "If All Else Fails".

I kinda dig it. It's not amazing or anything. But it does sound like Robert Mason fronting BulletBoys.

Infinitely more exciting than the actual Barenaked Ladies.

Absolutely. I bet Geoff would rather it be Barenaked Men...... but I digress......

And the only venues they'd be able to play are strip clubs...

Got a great idea. And all girl band of hotties that play totally nude on stage.

Wouldn't that get SOLD OUT every show?

Discuss.

I'd rather Daniels do a Jailhouse reunion. He doesn't fit with this band at all.

Sorry.... that's not Autograph. They should be ashamed to use that name.

Sounds 0% like "Sign In Please".

Yet another terrible band name.

Definitely a familiar cover.

Nah, the music sucks.

+1

Nah. There's enough melody and clean stuff overall that the death vocs don't bug me. Adds character. There was a lot of that in early Within Temptation material as well; makes for interesting counterpoints/themes.

Death vox always bug me.

Nice new song, but I enjoyed the last record and Meryl Hamilton is a fine player and VERY easy on the peepers.

 

Oh, she's definitely delicious.

Made it :37 in.... those scrotum vocals totally ruin it.

http://sleazeroxx.com/ex-babylon-a-d-guitarist-danny-de-la-rosa-speaks-about-leaving-the-band-and-upcoming-solo-album/

With respect to why De La Rosa ended up leaving Babylon A.D. after 28 years with the band, he advised: “Derek is the king of Babylon A.D. [laughs] and he is a doer. He has a studio at his home so it’s pretty easy for him to record what and when he wants. After all my years of playing, I could never really grasp being good enough to engineer a quality recording. I don’t want to put out a garage studio recording that sounds like a demo. I want my music to sound the best it can with a producer’s input. When I’m writing songs, I have no idea if it’s perceived as good or not. When people heard it — professional people — they said it was worth re-recording in a quality studio, so I am. I now have myself to rely on and I don’t have to compromise with anyone else except for the producer whom I will give total trust as he is investing his time to record me. [i have] full musical expression with the freedom to do what I want. If 100 people respond they like some of my music, I will be a happy man. Add a few zeros and I would be ecstatic!

I left Babylon A.D. for several reasons. Basically, the band had an underlying urge to be The Persuaders again — their former name before I joined — and I didn’t want to be in the way of that. I am happy for them to go full circle. I knew it was just a matter of time. They are living their dream and more power to them but that dream is not mine. I also had a position that if we were to record a new album, I preferred a third party to choose songs, engineer and produce. That wasn’t going to happen in this regimen… [laughs] but Derek was very supportive of me recording and releasing my music. I wouldn’t write off playing a show in the future with Babylon A.D. playing those classic songs. I loved playing those songs with Ron [Freschi]. We always got along great for a dual lead situation.

I didn’t make it easy for them when shows and rehearsals came up because more importantly I am a father of three teenage boys and they need me at this point in their lives and I need them. I couldn’t go anywhere at a drop of a hat and frankly, I feel I experienced everything the band had to offer. The main thing I will miss is the Monster Of Rock Cruises. It is so much fun to meet the fans and great musicians and see bands I like and just the whole positive vibe made possible by the awesome staff. I would like to thank all the promoters that treated me so well and the fans that made the effort to come talk to me sharing their memories of our music and how it affected them. I went on the road as a musician out of high school; auditioned for KISS when Ace [Frehley] left; hung out with Clive Davis, Tom Werman, RoboCop and Sam Kinison; jammed with some great musicians; and, now I can continue to express myself musically without the “burden” of being a rich and famous person that can’t go out anywhere [laughs]. I have the best of both worlds. What a great thing to be musically active at this point in my life.”
