from the interwebz:

Australian sleazy hard rockers SNAKE BITE WHISKY are releasing their debut full-length studio album "This Side Of Hell", and while recorded in Down Under, it sounds like taped back in 1987 in a L.A.

Snake Bite Whisky was formed in December 2014 and after 2 EP's has quickly established themselves as Australia's number one sleazy band rapidly gaining a large following in the international glam/sleazy scene.

Likened to early Guns N' Roses with a healthy dose of Motley Crue and Motörhead's heaviness, the Snakes are determined to bring the style and attitude of the '80s Sunset Strip scene, kicking and screaming into the present, bringing something fresh to the global hair metal revival.

Snake Bite Whisky already supported major acts and toured Europe & the US, and played at the Cruefest at the Whisky a Go-Go in Hollywood. Indeed, they belong there...

"This Side Of Hell" is pure '80s sleazy with 'y', meaning the American sound of the genre.

While influences abound, these guys have their own, no compromise style. This is full throttled yet melodic in yer face sleazy soaked rock n' roll.

There's plenty of guitar attack on 'Damnation Alley' and the anthemic 'Ain't Dead Yet' (early Skid Row on steroids), a mammoth groove in 'Spin', and a dirty punch on the nasty 'B.A.M.'

More melodic with swirling solos ala Faster Pussycat is 'Last Man Standing', while 'Another Day' brings some calm (not a ballad though).

Mid-paced, 'New Revolution' has some LA Guns in the riffage, then the album end with the proper full sleazy feat of 'She Likes Machines', where I found a little of Alice Cooper in the approach.

 

SNAKE+BITE+WHISKY+-+This+Side+Of+Hell+-+

 

'Uncompromised' is the best word to define Snake Bite Whisky's full-length debut album "This Side Of Hell"; this is pure Americanized sleazy hard rock, from style to attitude.

These Aussie guys don't care trends or 'commercial potential'; they play the music they want and they do it darn well. So if you miss this type of rock n' roll unpolluted by record label executives, grab "This Side Of Hell" now.

They from Brisbane, Queensland for Aussies members. Big call, calling Australia's number one sleazy band, when they haven't played down here Melbourne yet.

The albums's great. They also have 2 previously released EP's that are pretty good although not as good production wise as the album, which I guess is to be expected. Thanks for the post mate. It takes someone from the other side of the world to put me on to an Aussie band. That's why I love thjs site!

    • I to used see them a few times at the Middle as well. With local chapter of the Hells Angels at front bar. Not much a Screaming Jets fan, so I didn't watch them with Gleeson' The guy in front now, was their recent drummer before they put out in front Those first five albums are classics
    • My brother was playing some of this guy's stuff a few months ago. I only now got around to checking it out for myself. Pretty fuckin' good!
    • Seems these guys are no more   https://sleazeroxx.com/r-i-p-cobrakill-lead-guitarist-randy-white-announces-band-no-longer-exists/
    • I grew up listening to Cuntry, and have kinda wanted to get back into it. But not the typical New Cuntry shit. So I'll give this a try. 
    • I always forget about this band, and then I listen to them and am like, "Oh, yeah, they're good!" And then forget about them for another year. 
    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}
