Art of Dysfunction
A debut album of significant blues rock proportions that weeps, crashes, rises and rides like an unstoppable force of nature. Here is a track by track breakdown of this outstanding album. Track#1 – Beford Blues Rip roaring shout along chorus rocker that sets the tone of intent. Fuelled by serious riffing, a ripper solo that goes into a bass, drums drive before culminating in more of the same. Track #2 – Hypnotise A riff with swagger with rock shades of Tracii Guns swirls and rises into a shout a long line of “Come On, Come On, Come On, Come On”. Guitar solo’s ridding over ranging drums. What more needs to be said than winner, winner chicken dinner. Track #3 – Before the Moment Dies A stepping riff that a dipping dive that has emotion soaked vocals that dig the shoulder into. Slows to shuddering solid wall of chords before rising high. Track #4 – Sunset Rider Slowing the pace down a tad with blues soaked guitars AoD raises the metal finger high. Done with ain’t no sunshine soul and flowering guitar work. Track #5 – Black Magic Love Bouncing druming intro with megaphone vocals explode into an intoxicating rocking riff that demands swinging moves when listened to. More outstanding solo runs echoing into crunchy riffs. Track #6 - J.E.P Lonely drum beats sets a menacing riff into action like Chopper with blade in hand this stalks along like a mad man in the alley. Killer riff with harmonic singing this has standing proud swagger. A solo that bends you at the knees and cries out in screaming vengeance. Track #7 – Left Handed Cigarettes Complex riffing kicks into a racing charge flowers into a smoke cloud of sweet, sweet vibrations. Track #8 – Mandy More back beat riffing and soulful vocals crutch along that evoke involuting movements of your neck muscles. This one is dripping with sweet honey. Track #9 – Devil Woman The groove continues of hard blues riffing, crashing cymbals, and bubbling bass. Track 10 - Ballard of the Short Stem Rose Slow southern country rock that powers into embracing chorus and Mount Vesuvius erupting soul. Featuring the legendary Ama Quinsee on backing vocals a fitting way to close off this magnificent debut release.
