Fireking - Live A Little, Love A Little |
Get ready to really power along with your pop! Hailing from Boston, Fireking`s debut 9 song CD is a killer tour-de-force, simply stated. Take the sound of Cheap Trick`s debut and add small doses of Mott The Hoople and Sweet and don`t bother stirring, it`s already to go. The lead singer sounds like Robin Zander belting strong so on 4 of these songs,they sound like 1976/77 outtakes of Cheap Trick. I`d like to call them the Captain Crunch of power pop because the Fireking are crunch their pop loudly, but it`s crisp, clean and a guilty pleasure all the way to shelf to pour another bowl(Note non-US citizens: Captain Crunch is a great children`s cereal that keeps on showing up in my home still). A cover of Sweet`s "Rebel Rouser" not only shows good taste, but displays the bands` inspiration inside their own sound. Fans of the recent Teen Machine CD, as well, should not miss this one as early 70`s glam groove is highly inspired here. Extremely Highly Recommended. |
