The catch up continues tonight with three very different albums that all fit the IDHAS Remit. I love Rob Moss and his Skin-Tight-Skin Trio lock together to allow the Guest Lead Guitarists create a noisy affair. You can probably hear the Boston sound from far afield.
The Guitarists really let rip, never more so than Curt Florcsak on Right Hook. Moss mixes storytelling and a have a good time all the time vibes without ever really coming up for air. This is certainly the loudest that I can remember him on his solo adventures.
His background allows him to mix a Punk Attitude with a slightly Harder Rock via Indie Rock. His almost talky vocal style reminds me a little of Alice Cooper, not the Poison era AOR, but an album like Special Forces when the Horror was toned down and replaced with anthems.
RECORDS is like something on Burger Records when it gets really melodic and the Guitarists bring that extra something special.Charles Hansen is one of my favourite guitarists and he appears on two songs, We Just Don't Know and We Just Don't Dub. One is a great anthem, the other an extraordinary mix that works just as well.
Hey You (We're Sick Of You) edges towards a mix of UK Glam Rock and Punk before a blistering solo courtesy of Paul Armstrong. The World (Is A Playground) is an alternate joint vocal with Jen D'Angora which works beautifully.
Randy Klawon's Guitar Track on You And Time is probably my favourite, but 11 are excellent and their talents matched with the band are splendid. This is a noisy, boisterous album, raw in places, but that adds to the joy. It more than hits the spot.
You can listen to and buy the album here. It is available on CD or as a download.
