I first saw these guys about a year ago and they seemed to be more of an emo punk band. I saw them again on the weekend and what a change.. a few line-up changes, the shirts and ties replaced with motly shirts, and focused more on a sleaze metal sound.

 

Aggressive vocals and big guitars.They belted out a great set of sleaze metal that would be appreciated by fans of Crystal Pistol, Crank County Daredevils, Vains of Jenna, Starrats.

I picked up their ep at the time and it impressed me no end. Definitely worth checking out if you liek the bands above.... especially Starrats and Crank County. A few track on their myspace.

Another band that knew EMO is dying, jump on the sleaze/glam bandwagon. Just like Lee Harding, ex Australian Idol, gonna from a punk wanna be to glam/sleaze superstar.

I see what you mean, but these guys actually deliver. And I think the line-up changes may have had something to do with the change in direction.

 

Afterall, emo punk is probably bigger in this town than sleaze metal. There are only 2 bands I can think of in Adelaide playing sleaze metal, and I can probably point out 20 emo punk bands. If they all convert and could be this good, I'll be a happy man.

 

I haven't been able to get thier EP out of my cd player for the last 3-4 days. Of the 5 tracks, 4 are killer... and the 5th is quite good aswell.

go easy on the blonde guy... he just needs a hug, ... and some sleep, and to stop getting bashed by the bruiser on the right..

 

 

I was speaking to the fella on the extreme left after the show and told him that they could improve their image if the bassist lost the tie and the baseball cap.

you hate lee?

Yeah... how could you not? He gave the term "poser" a whole new definition with his Idol journey, then he releases a Wiggles-esque pop punk album with the gayest singles I've heard from an Idol yet. :P What's not to hate about him? :lol:

these guys are playing tonight so I thought I might go see them if I'm feelin up to it.

 

What did you think of their ep geoff? It was in that pile of Aussie cdrs that I sent ya about 6 months back.

I had it on yesterday and it still rocks.

Yeah, I definitely liked this one, mate. It got swamped in a million other CDs I've got recently, but I definitely liked it. I have to revisit soon.

The two on the left look like they might rock but the two on the right appear to be on their way to a Fall Out Boy show.

 

 

They've changed their image a bit since this shot was taken.

2 off them look 100% rock/metal, 1 of them looks 50% rock and 50% punk, and one looks total punk.

I guess that describes their sounds also, part rock/metal, part punk and part modern hard rock.

      Tell Which Bands I Should Listen To!

      By CureTheSane · Posted

      So some may remember that Tyketto toured recently and aside from Forever Young, I never delved into this band. So I did, so I'd know the songs in concert and was blown away. A great band with an awesome catalog that I had missed out on. To be fair, in the 80's it was a lot harder to access and find out about a lot of the more fringe bands, that's my excuse anyway. So I now am faced with digging deeper into some other bands I've overlooked. Some of these I gave a go, and wasn't really impressed, but now I'm starting fresh with an open mind. So below is a list of bands I have eitehr never bothered with, or never really gave a proper go. Lizzy Borden is on the list and I have done a bit of their stuff and like it a lot, so I will definately dig deeper into them (I've got some older stuff and some newer stuff, but have skipped quite a few albums) But the others, fire away, tell me which bands have killer material that I'll froth and how stppid I've been to skip them. Aldo Nova Badlands Baby Tango Baton Rouge Black N Blue Britney Fox BulletBoys DAD Giant Hanoi Rocks Hardline Jetboy King Kobra Kingdom Come Lillian Axe Lizzy Borden Loudness Love Hate Quireboys Saigon Kick Santa Cruz Shotgun Messiah SleezeBeez SouthGang Tiger Tailz TNT Vain White Tiger

      I like the album art. I love when contemporary Glam Metal bands have album art with a genuine 80s vibe to it.

      Nope, for a while, I used to think Rapunzel from Tangled (2010) was hot... But then I stopped being attracted to cartoon characters.
