When I heard the album for the first time I was reminded to what German band The Bosshoss did as well. Taking well known songs and arrange them in a total different way. While The Bosshoss, in their early days, took pop songs as well as "Jesus built my hotrod" from Ministry and added a country touch to it, Hayseed Dixie started with a cover album called "A Hillbilly tribute to AC/DC".

Seeing as the majority of great sleaze bands are coming out of Sweden these days, it is no surprise that one of the originators of that scene have decided to return to show the young guns how things are done. The Glorious Bankrobbers aren't as heavy as many of the new bands, but what they lack in power they make up for in great songwriting and finesse.Forming way back in 1983, it wasn't until the late 80s when the band hit their stride with the killer Dynamite Sex Doze album. Now they are back with what is essentially a greatest hits collection, but because the old master tapes were lost over the years the band decided to enter the studio with Chris Laney and remix their best tunes and revive a couple of previously unreleased tracks.
Norwegian rockers FAITH CIRCUS is comprised of, Marc Farrano/vocals, Marius Mørch/guitars, Lasse Koester/bass and Baard Nordvik/drums.

So if you are looking for strong melodies, great hooks with pounding drums, thunderous bass and smooth yet powerful vocals then you should check this out. Guest Musicians: Tony Harnell (Ex TNT), Morty Black (Ex TNT), Toren Moren (JORN),Steinar Krokstad (STAGE DOLLS)

They say time heals all wounds, but in the case of North Carolina's Crank County Daredevils the wounds have festered in the three years since their last album Livin' In The Red. In that time rumors circulated of the band's demise, but instead they kept plugging away, this time with a new guitarist and drummer.
MR QUINN is an interesting and good melodic hard rock band from Skellefteå in the northern part of Sweden. Soundwise and stylewise it is easy to trace DEEP PURPLE influences, and who can blame anyone for such a fine taste? A rather frequent use of Hammond organ sounds help out a lot. More»
