Long hair. 30 year old riffs. Heavy metal. Status Quo rather than Led Zeppelin. Smart logo. from Bournemouth. Main song "Robert Johnson" is a shocking cheek of a name, but a perfectly fine piece of epic rock archaeology. It's great fun-stomping nonsense.
"Credit" is listed as a "demo". Well. Put it away lads, it's sludgy, does nothing and goes nowhere.
"Fly By" has a crack at Jimmy Page acousticness as a build to the heroic bluesed-up screamathon ... but at a limp 2 minutes 33 it never gets past the repetitive acoustic lead-in. This is what they call "padding". I blush for them.
Ne'er mind. The crazy kids will go for "Robert Johnson" as if it was the real thing. Richard Peacock has a fine pair of lungs on him for sure. Let's hope it gets into the Top 40 where it can annoy the crusties and the shopalots in equal measure. It ain't quite the Darkness yet, but it's getting there.
