Gentlemen of Distorted Sound claim to play groove-laden hard rock, and for once a band’s self-description provides a fairly accurate summary of the bands output. The five songs on this EP all have a reasonable groove and could be described as rock of the hard variety. They’ve got an amusing mascot in the form of a skull with a native American head dress who is also sports a monocle and cigarette holder; and provided you don’t try and take the band too seriously, this is a pleasant and varied listening experience.
The band can all play, which is always an encouraging start. There’s a solid rhythm section which locks down an effortless groove and keeps things chugging along nicely, a smattering of guitar heroics, and Gareth Nugent’s vocals offer a decent blues howl with plenty of power in the upper registers. They’re tight but not mechanical and the whole thing has a Black Sabbath-style swing to it which keeps the classic rock vibe going throughout.
2012, Great things come out of Sweden, not just ABBA and this album is one of them. Founded by ex-Prime Sth drummer Kasper Lindgren and featuring the vocal talents of Tobias Gustavsson, Coma (guitar), Henrik Edenhed (Bass) und Kasper Lindgren (Drums), all of them experienced and very successful songwriters and producers in Sweden. They already shared stages with ALICE COOPER or DEEP PURPLE and proved to be one of the hottest Swedish rock bands these days. Opener 'Monster' is just that, a monster of a song complete with a hook to die for. Singer and guitar player Tobias Gustavsson mentioned 70's and 80's hard rock and grunge as their inspiration source.
