Category: Hard Rock
Hard rock (or heavy rock) is a loosely defined subgenre of rock music which has its earliest roots in mid-1960s garage rock, blues rock and psychedelic rock. It is typified by a heavy use of aggressive vocals, distorted electric guitars, bass guitar, drums, and often accompanied with pianos and keyboards.

Review:
From the ashes of Revolver rises Famous Underground — the heavy metal project fronted by former Slik Toxik frontman Nick Walsh. Revolver burst onto the scene with their 2004 album Turbulence, and several years later Walsh and his long-time cohort Laurie-Anne Green put together this new band that possesses an even heavier sound. Fans of the ’80s hair metal that Slik Toxik delved into may be disappointed, but for people that liked the directionSebastian Bach took on Angels Down will enjoy the self-titled disc.
Famous Underground storm out of the gates with “Wasteland”, a song that shows Nick Walsh still has the voice after all these years. It is a crunchy number that speeds along like the Beautiful Creatures on meth — and really that’s what this CD is all about, delivering elements of modern metal with a hint of old-school. The album’s first single “Dead Weight” (and a holdover from the Revolver album) contains some nice touches of melody, but the down-tuned chorus lets it down — however all is forgiven by the time “Forever And A Day” comes around, a mid-tempo rocker that is a borderline ballad and has a chorus that actually works! “On Broken Wings” is as close as Famous Underground come to the ’80s sound with another middle-of-the-road rocker that succeeds with its melodies.
Sometimes this disc treads too far into the ‘modern’ realm for my liking, and when they do the results are varied. “Bullet Train” and “Wheel Of Misfortune” are both fairly forgettable, but on the other hand “Mommy Is A Junkie” and “Hell To Pay” take the same approach and make it work.
I’ll be honest, Famous Underground is going to be a stretch for those of us stuck in the ’80s — but the people who like the new metal sounds coming out today (I’m not talking that nu-metal crap though), enjoyed Revolver‘s debut, and wish Sixx A.M.‘s latest release rocked a bit harder, should find lots to like on this CD. I still like Nick Walsh‘s voice, but I’m more partial to the sounds of Slick Toxik than the heavy metal of Famous Underground — however this isn’t about reliving the past, these guys (and one girl) are looking towards the future.

GREAT WHITE – ABSOLUT HITS (2011)
Buy Original CD HERE
I am a fan of Great White. They’re not one of my all time greatest bands but they have a nice sound and a handful of killer tunes. Their latest release, “Absolute Hits” is a greatest hits collection. That in itself is not a terrible thing although I have always found that greatest hit collections were just a lazy way to release a new album/CD for profit without any effort because those songs have already been released. That said I have a number of greatest hit collections in my collection of albums so I guess it’s a method that works. My big problem here is that this is the 11th, that’s right, the 11th greatest hits collection released from the band. For comparison they have also released 11 studio albums. So does 11 studio albums and 11 greatest hits albums compute? This does not count the seven live albums they have released which realistically is another seven greatest hits albums.
Anyhow, as I said I am a fan of Great White. Mark Kendall’s guitar work is one of the many great underrated guitar players. Jack Russell has a distinct sound to his voice and his collaboration with Kendall is the foundation of this band’s greatest work. Sadly this moderately successful band is better known for its association with the tragic “Station Nightclub Fire” then for their music. An association that will forever haunt them and all those connected to that dark event in history.
If you are a huge fan of Great White or that lunatic fan of the genre who needs every CD by every band like myself you’ll probably buy this, like I did, but you won’t find anything new on it. It is probably the best of the eleven greatest hits collections. It is a collection of their most notable songs and has all their biggest and best tracks.
New fans to Great White will get the best snapshot of the band from this collection more so than any of the others. It is also a great CD to give someone you want to turn on to the band.
Great White has some US tour dates listed for Spring and Summer including the M3 Rock Festival in Maryland. Get out there and see some live music.
