THE CITY KIDS - Things That Never Were (2020)

[AlphaMale]

from the interwebz:

“Things That Never Were” is the debut album by THE CITY KIDS, a new band put together by JJ Watt from the disbanded The Main Grains, also featuring guitarist Dennis Post (Warrior Soul), bass player Berty Burton (Tigertailz), and drummer Dave Sanders from hard rockers Falling Red.
Featuring guest appearances by Tracii Guns (LA Guns) and Kory Clarke (Warrior Soul), as well as Billy Tee and Alex Holmes (The Suicide Notes), The City Kids (not to be confused with the long gone Cardiff based glam legends) delivers a mix greasy, edgy, gritty biker hard rock and tons of melody, sleazier than one of Gene Simmons‘s chat-up lines.
A fun, dirty rock n’ roll to be the antidote for these coronavirus days.

Doesn't sound like Cats In Space or Night Flight Orchestra........ which means 0 responses.

This board has become pretty lame.

calm down, I hadn't even seen the thread lol.

Quick question though : do you honestly think those 2 songs are good? And do you like the vocals?

just curious

It's not horrible. I dig the overall vibe. The only two songs available on youtube and not 2 of my favorites. If you seek it out, most of the disc is pretty damn solid stuff.

We think you're awful but we still talk to you.

Not a fan of the vocals at all .. they are really flat..

The two songs are also way too similar sounding

I love good sleaze, but this isn't good sleaze

That logic implies we should continue to listen to shit music.

There's plenty of that around unfortunately.

We really need a band to come in and just floor us all.

Yeah, I agree. The vocals are the weak point. But somewhere in there is potential.

Oh dear. Who the fuck is this non football playing JJ Watt and who told him he should sing?

 

This would have been far superior if Kory Clark would have just sung the whole damn thing or maybe an instrumental album.

 

At least that other shit band Russ posted with the busty grandma, had a busty grandma in it even though that was the ONLY thing going for it.
