BOMBAY BLACK / BULLETS AND BOOZE (2012)

Take a strong dose from the 80'sleaze scene mixed with big melodies, a strong groove and some kick-ass songs and there you have Bombay Black. These guys have plenty of talent and and that's a thing that reflects to their music. One of the band's strongest point is their lead singer; Erik Johnson is for sure da man here!

These guys are playing their hard rock with plenty of attitude filled with the necessary melodies-hooks-catchy choruses and sometimes with a 'clever' tongue-and-cheek humor. The track that opens the album, "Queen Of Denial," is a brilliant hard rock tune while the next one, "Rock 'n Roll Pain Train", showing the band's in groovier mood. "Helluva Time" is my personal favorite track so far with its up-tempo rhythm and the nice riffing! "Bad Boy" is a hell of a catchy song!!! This is a winner fro the new album!!! "Love Like This"  is another killer song! Everything here rocks big time!!!! The chorus is monstrous  the harmonies perfect and the up-tempo rhythm and harmonies here kicked my ass!!  

Bottom line is that this is a killer release all the way! Up-tempo ass-kickin' hard rock music with attitude and without any 'modern' or unnecessary things. If you already know Bombay Black, then go out and get this album...for the rest of you Bullets And Booze is the perfect way to discover a very interesting band! Well done!!
