CD REVIEW: ON SAFARI by Ulysses




ON SAFARI by Ulysses
(Independent Release)

UK rockers Ulysses return with latest slab of rock and roll goodness in the form of, 'On Safari', a very energizing and contagious album loaded with songs that will get your rock and roll juices flowing. The band is comprised of, Luke Smyth of vocals and guitars, Denny Peppers on backing vocals and guitars, Jimmy Peppers on bass and backing vocals and drummer, Shane Maxymus. The new album is yet another fine example of Ulysses' prowess in true rock and roll form. I have listened to this band morph over the years without losing their way. Ulysses are so entrenched in solid rock and roll they are never persuaded away from delivering outstanding musicianship, great lyrics, endless energy and solid vocals. A rock and roll band that play rock songs that are loaded with catchy hooks and stomping, sing along choruses. As they prove on tracks like, "Doctors And Nurses", the lead off single, "Dragons", "This Useless Love" and a personal favorite, "Bad Tattoo". After listening to a band like Ulysses, it would be hard to not imagine this band fitting perfectly in the 70's Glam scene in the UK playing the stage along such giants like, Slade, The Sweet or The Sensational Alex Harvey Band.  This band is something truly special. Every now and then, just when you think music is dead, or at least on life support, a band comes along and gives you hope. I highly recommend to anyone who loves rock and roll music to listen to Ulysses, fall in love with them and pick up their back catalog too. Here's to the Ulysses for another job well done! Cheers! - Tony @ The Dedicated Rocker Society
