Album Review – SIN/ CITY – Th13teen

 

 

Myskull Records (Release Date – Out Now)

If you look Sin/ City up the metal dictionary it would no doubt say ‘See AC/DC’. This German outfit have been kicking out AC/DC style blues rock for many years and this is their fourth album. Whilst their influences are obvious the guys have honed their homage over the years and much like Airbourne have developed to a point where you could argue they would give the original ‘DC a run for their money.

Kicking off with ’Tires On Fire’ you can tell that the band have been doing this for a while as they are a tight unit and the music is first class, if not the most original. The two guitarists, Jurgen and Frank, churn out the heavy blues riffs in style and vocalist, Porty Portner, sounds like a mix of Brian Johnson and Bonn Scott with a great range.

The album continues in fine fashion with all tracks conjuring up images of dirty rock ‘n’ roll excess, the best being  ‘Backseat Race’ and the fast and furious ‘G.F.R (You Can Trust)’.  All 13 tracks though are well worth a spin and are good enough to get any self-respecting AC/DC fans’ heads nodding.

It may not be original, in fact it borders on plagiarism, but it is highly entertaining and well played. Let’s face it if you are going to copy someone’s style, you may as well copy from the best. As one of the tracks says though ‘Don’t Expect Too Much’.
