THE
PEOPLE'S PARTY - Slavetrader (Fast
Food Records)
These dirty rock 'n' roll bastards have been holding the fort in New Zealand,
supporting the likes of Dead Moon and the D4. They crank out a borderline
combination of glam, punk and pure rock 'n' roll.
I saw 'em live and the singer reminded me of Tim Hemmensly; I hear you, but
he did. Slavetrader are the kinda band that can pull good rock 'n' roll out
of the bag in any situation. This disc really cranks along.
The song titles are your invitation here: "People’s Party",
"Shit Happens", "Party Naked", "Nothing to Lose".
Slavetrader are furious and instant - and they they can crank out a good heavy
ballad.
They show respect
for the past. not just carbon copying it. There's a nice mix here - it would
go well in a big car in summer!
