Rock ‘N’ Roll Heroes is the 13th release from German Rock band Mallet. Formed in 1979, the current line up is a 3 piece, featuring Jürgen Rehberg on guitar and lead vocals, Manfred Dünzl on bass guitar and vocals, and Mario Gerhards on drums and vocals.
Mallet is a very busy band, playing upwards of 150 shows a year, sharing the bill with top acts such as Deep Purple, Scorpions, and James Brown, to name a few. Additionally, their rock ballet show `Rock Around Barock` was a sellout success for 11 years, with performances in Spain and in France. Rock ‘N” Roll Heroes is a very straightforward Rock record. Very blues-based, classic rock tones, and mostly party-themed lyrics. Sonically, the record is well-produced, mixed well, and crisp and clear. The songs are hooky and enjoyable. There is no reinvention of the wheel here, just a ballsy rock record with no pretense of being anything but. Songs like “King Kong” and “Sweet Little Mantis” have a very 60’s vibe, while the title track, “Rock ‘N”Roll Hero” and “Eighties Coming Back” have a more distinctly 80’s flavor. Fans of Mallet, fans of Classic Rock, Blues Rock, and 60s-80s Rock will most likely find something good on Rock ‘N’ Roll Heroes.
