(review) The Lancasters – ‘Standard Family Size’ (Retro Vox Records)

The Lancasters are hailing from mighty Italian underground scene and this is their new full length opus with Retro Vox Records. This one contains thirteen songs and is it a concept album? Well, yes and no! Songs are arranged like a presentation of wild and strange family with thirteen members from more normal, depending on the eye of the beholder to more weird and eerie members. So, it is basically a concept album, but also it’s not. Music is basically heavy rock with some prog elements, garage punk even in some songs, desert rock and not toname all those subgenres right now, I will say, it is only rock n roll but I like it! Some songs sound to me like The Hellacopters with Black Sabbath in same blender with garage rock. I like more melodic songs like for example ‘Little Suzie’ which I listened two or three times over and over. There are tempo changes and songs vary from mid tempo to more faster, straightforward stuff, but the energy is touchable throughout the whole album. I also love song called ‘Pancho, the Brave’ which was cleverly chosen as a single. Vocals have that effect on it, so I would like more if there were more clean, but hey that is only me, for this type of music they fit perfectly. Between others, I also choose ‘Liza’ and ‘Odessa’ as my personal favorite family members. Go listen if you like your rock.

(news – new lyric video) Italian KLEE Project released new lyric video for ‘Running Out Of Time’!

Italian southern/hard-rock act KLEE Project has released a new lyric video for ‘Running Out Of Time’. The new single was recorded and mixed at Memphis Studio in Rome by Roberto Sterpetti, mastering at Elephant Studio by Riccardo Parenti and artwork by Il Colornauta.

About the new single Roberto Sterpetti and Jessie Galante says: ‘It’s simply a song that talks about not wasting any more time to re-unite when two people are in love. Also that life is too short (one stairway to heaven you climb) and you have to get it while you can (seize the day) and not something you should avoid (hand of fate). It’s sort of love trauma and not accepting that the love is over. So the traumatized person is relentless in getting back together with the girl of his dreams. You can’t run and hide!’.
