Artist: The Guestz  
   Title: Not For The Money, Just For The Glory
   Label: Illegal Records

With bands like Airborne and The Stone Gods currently taking the Hard Rock world by storm with their infectious AC/DC stylings, it’s time for the Italian invasion with The Guestz.

Hailing for Rome this quartet of hard rockers have put the case forward for instant stardom with their five track EP 'Not For Money, Just For Glory'.  A great feel good rocker of an EP that sees Jonna of Lord Brummell fame team up with Mimmo God, Rob n' Roll and Matt Svarione.

This short but equally impressive EP is sure to catapult the band forward in the world of Hard Rocking with their Krokus/AC/DC crossover of big riffs and thumping rhythms that will have those feet tapping from the off, as the opener 'Jonna Want Two Beers’ get's the party started.

The high-octane rock continues with the impressive ‘Piracy’ with Mimmo sounding more and more like Marc Storace as the EP progresses.

The next instalment is the superb ‘House Of Rock’, another six gun blazing rocker before what is for me track of the EP ‘Naked Alice’.  A full on riff frenzy that just bursts out the speakers with such infectious energy it felt that being injected with pure undiluted Rock.

Things come to an all to premature close with ‘In The Blink Of An Eye’, again it's all systems go but this time with a darker edge, although equally as impressive.

If this is what the band can put together in an EP then I for one can't wait for a full blown album.  So you better watch out because you could be visited by some welcome Guestz at your next rock n' roll party!
