GREETINGS FROM THE ELECTRIC WASTELAND by The Gloria Story
(Wild Kingdom)
Swedish based rockers, The Gloria Story are back with their sophomore release, 'Greetings From The Wasteland'. Filip Rapp – lead vocals, guitars, Fredrik Axelsson - vocals, lead guitars, Carl Ahlander – guitars, Jocke Rang - bass, backing vocals and Henrik Siberg – drums. Following up their smash debut release, 'Shades of White', the lads kick up their mashup of punk rock attitude with hard rock energy to a whole new level. This swedish five-piece rock and roll machine storm into the cracking opening title track, "Beast Of The Northern Light" the guitars are clear and loud, the bass and drums pound at your heart, the and Filip Rapp has a rock solid voice. Album highlights also include; "Bang Bang (Pull The Trigger)", "Look Left, Walk Right", "Cardinal Sin" and "Electric Wasteland". Every track has wonderous hooklines, some great harmonies. Drawing gleefully on every pompous cliché that the annals of rock history can offer, The Gloria Story play rock and roll the hedonist's way: jeans are to be stonewashed and bloodflow-restrictingly tight; hair must reach the collar; guitar solos always use the whole neck; and if a song clocks in at over four minutes, it's already getting cold. This is truly re-invented and re-grooved 70′s rock. The Gloria Story is a quick fix that probably won’t save the whales or the rain forrest – but most likely your next party! - Highly Recommended
