THE WILD BOYS – High Time (2004)

The first thing you got clear while listening “High Time” – the first album by THE WILD BOYS – is that this trio are unmistakable German. Their brand of Melodic Rock bring to mind that classic Teutonic sound akin Bonfire. This happens mostly due to Hansjörg “Hanse” Fichter vocals – and especially his phrasing – very similar to Claus Lessmann, but also Jorg Sieber (Dominoe) and Robby Musenbichler (Jojo / Tokyo)…

Pretty rare, out of print debut album from this unknown (and good) German Melodic Rock band.
