Ignition / Ignition (2003)

This is an excellent Scandi melodic hard rock album! "Ignition", the self titled album, was released back in 2003 and it's one of these albums that every hard rock fan must own! It's a pitty that this band has released this one only and never come back with a follow up album.

Big chorus lines, hooks, inspired melodies, a very talented vocalist with a charismatic voice and some really huge guitar riffs and solos make this album an essential purchase.

"Down on My Luck" is the first track and it's a great way to start this little gem! An inspired riff, a cool groove, some big gang background vocals and there you have a standout track! A pumpin' bass line and a nice guitar solo plus the memorable chorus are things that you are going to hear from track number two, "Tell Me Your Mine". I don't know but when I hear this album, it reminds me, in some parts, the Dogface's albums with Mats Leven!!
Other highlights here are the up-tempo tune of "You Can't Fool Me No More", the acoustic "Should Have Done Your Right", the huge with the big chorus "First to Cry" and the moodier "Fire With Fire"!

Overall, this is a high quality and 'ballsy' melodic hard rock album with very good performances and a solid production! So, do a favour to yourself and buy this album!! Highly recommended for fans of Dogface, Last Autumn's Dream and Street Talk.
