'04 rocks
self-released
For a self-proclaimed "cock-rock" band, these Danes are actually pretty darn tame. It doesn't help that the clichéd opening line of the first song goes "I wound up on Greyhound, going eastbound out of LA" and comes off sounding about as far from genuine as you can get. Luckily, that's about as bad as this four-song demo gets - it's all uphill once you make it through "Gypsy caress". They're quite a bit more AC/DC than Mötley Crüe, but whatever - I tend to like my rock n' roll more working class anyways. These guys ain't bad, but they've got a ways to go if they want to compete in the already overcrowded Scandinavian rock scene. If they're really, truly going for the "cock-rock" thing, they really need to up the ante quite a bit. It takes much more than a few hammer-on riffs and artificial harmonics, y'know.
