STARRATS – SCREW THE CONSEQUENCES 2009 + Broken Halo 2004

The Starrats are back in action with their brand new album Screw The Consequences, and a brand new voice. The Danish/Swedish quartet is heavily influenced by the later half of the 80’s, the so-called ‘Decade of Decadence’, and they have already toured extensively with some of the greats from that period such as Skid Row and Britny Fox.
Screw The Consequences is the band’s third album and it is their best so far. While they were just a little bit too punkish for my taste on their previous efforts, this CD is definitely a sleaze album, although sometimes borrowing elements of the action-rock sound from early Backyard Babies and Supersuckers. New singer Magnus reminds me quite a lot of the latter’s Eddie Spaghetti on some of the songs here, for example the cool “Raise Your Hands To Rock” and “Psycho You”.
