BRIAN DURBIN is a delight. Clearly born several decades too late, he’s everything that was awesome about 80s hair metal, yet he’s only in his thirties. Usually to be found in super-successful rock tribute band Hairbangers Ball, when he hasn’t been touring all over the USA Brian has put together an album full of his own work, ”Only Jams”.
For ”Only Jams” (a joke to ‘Only Fans’) the Chicago based musician put together into a full lenght album the eleven singles that have been released over the last two years. Brian has performed entirely solo (vocals, guitar, bass and programming) on all the songs bar ‘Don’t Let Go’ which features an additional bassist and drummer. He has the look, too, all explosive blonde mullet and glam metal image. Impressive.
There are nine tracks and two listed as bonus tracks (just for fun), all of them future 80s-style melodic hard rock classics, packed with sleazy, high- pitched vocals, squealing guitar solos, and memorable hooks and riffs galore, straight out of the era of girls with huge hair crawling over car bonnets amid clouds of dry ice.
