When producer Tommy Hansen (Helloween/HateSphere/Illdisposed) is involved, it usually means that there’s something worth listening to. This is also the case with the 7-track promo from Danish rock outfit Expendables.

Most of our Danish readers (and some the German) will know D.A.D. and Sandmen, and for fans of those bands, there’s definitely something worth checking out here. Listen for example to the track Dirty Miss Daisy where vocalist Bjorn P sounds like a true copy of Jesper Binzer from D.A.D. Or the beginning of Run Baby Run that could’ve been taken from one of Sandmen’s better releases before it turns into a hardrock piece with a thing or two in common with Slaughter from the early Nineties.

With the variation and range he displays on the songs of this promo, Bjorn P could very well turn into one of the better rock voices in Denmark.

The only thing about this promo that really puts me off is the track So Sexy, where Expendables turn into an Aerosmith boogie-ballad nightmare. Yiiikes!

Otherwise good times rock’n’roll with well-structured tunes and a good, full sound.
