RED LIGHT RIPPERS Nobody Likes A Rat Fading Ways Music (2006)
Another new hard rock album that’s damn good and well worth searching out.
Hard, with a slight punk, indie and sleaze influence, there’s elements of AC/DC, Van Halen and Guns’n’Roses in here.
'Trailer Trash Trixie' will get you nodding, and on 'Addicted' the guitar is really attention grabbing.
The whole album is exuberant with underground energy; yes it’s rough round the edges, but that’s rock’n’roll. 'Pills' is reminiscent of Hanoi Rocks, with a nod towards the Macc Lads. And I mean that in a complementary way,
Loud, with little finesse, if it doesn’t give you a headache you’ll love it.
