It is great to have Weird Bloom back. I loved Stargate, which appeared in the Best Albums Of 2025 and the Italian five piece are back for more. They call it Junk Shop Glam, I’d call it UK Glam Rock 1973 - 1974 and there can lie a problem because I am of an age that can remember that period.
So my review will delight in how the band has got that period nailed down and make them sound like a retro band. However, most people will be much younger and not know the past bar the odd single. To them, these songs will sound as new and they are original songs.
So for the new, this is great joyful good time Guitar led Pop Rock. The oldsters can marvel at how close the band are to a beloved singles led time. Simply put, this is a great feel good album that puts its own spin on a glorious age and what bookmarks there are.
Look At Me is Bolan-esque, Lend Me Your Bones is not a million miles away from the Bay City Rollers. Wrong Time Wrong Place revives memories of Mud and Tiger Feet. Love’s A Glimpse is a little Suzi Quattro and The Devil On The Hill sounds like one of the rockier Sweet B Sides.
So having mentioned the references, it should be noted that the album is total fun, great Guitar Pop, beautifully performed and arranged. You will soon be tapping your feet, ckapping your hands and singing along to the choruses. Great Stuff!
You can listen to and buy the album here. The album is available on Vinyl and as a download.
