Jimmy Bain and Scott Warren have teamed up with someone called Sledge and another called Leather to form this band called Sledge Leather. This is their debut album and it is very much in the style of Accept when fronted by Udo. Imagine Me Alive has got some damn fine playing on it and there is no doubting this bunch should be a force to reckon with live. The album lacks a touch of consistency in terms of quality of tracks, but decent on average.
If Savage sound to you like a New Wave of Heavy Metal band it is because they are from that era. Unlike some of the NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) bands that have re-formed, these guys deliver the goods in abundance on Sons of Malice. This is fresh yet familiar and all good. Savage were covered by Metallica on their first demo, so Lars (a big fan of NWOBHM) likes these guys. Whether '80s version Marty or current Marty, I think this is a damn good album that is well worth your attention.
They are called Vengeance and they do a nice line is AC/DC-esque heavy rock. There is absolutely nothing not to like about Crystal Eye and I have enjoyed this album way too much as I drive around. It has a nice touch of Sunset Strip late-'80s rock about it as well. Hey, they even have a track called "Barbeque" which mentions Facebook. Try not to smirk listening to this album, I dare you.
Well that is all for you bunch right now. Stay safe and rocking all.
