Australian De La Cruz is new sleaze/glam metal band filled with Red Bull energy and plenty of young force. They have convinced me that this genre isn't dead. No, no, no. These five lads have six self-released EPs in their backpack and Frontiers Records did the right thing, when they gave them an opportunity with a full length album. I heard them the first time on YouTube and in the first 30 seconds of 'Street Level' their catchy sound took a grasp on me. In the track 'Street
Level' I do hear similarities with big bands like
Dokken, Ratt and Winger. The vocalist Roxxi
Catalano has the correct worn out and gritty
tone in his voice. Mötley Crüe sounding track 'Girls
Go Wild' is a steamy party song with pounding drums. 'Turn It
Up' is one damn good song with Quiet Riot sound. The two
guitarists are creating a thicker sound than the regular sleaze
bands manage, like in the magnificent
song 'Legions of Love'. It sounds exactly like
Def Leppard in their great olden days. Magic! I summarizes with a score in the higher OK level. Very talented musicians and crammed with positive energy that rubs off through my headphones. Line up: |
