Well the Summer is well and
truly upon us and what better way to enjoy it before is fades into
another rain soaked autumn than with some good time, hard hitting slap
you in the face ROCK N' ROLL ... and that's just what The Jokers debut
album 'The Big Rock & Roll Show' is all about. Great riffs,
big licks and a whole lotta rock!
Hailing from Liverpool the band consisting of Paul and Simon Hurst (guitar and bass), Chris Bate (drums) and Wayne Perry (vocals), were formed in 2006 and are influenced by the classic rock of Zep, Hendrix Rex and The Who and their love of great music. The band were so eager to get their music out there they actually recorded it in guitarist Paul Hurst’s living room, with duvet covers hanging on the walls to help the sound and provide a makeshift vocal booth! The band originally had the album mixed in a studio in Liverpool, but the result wasn't up to the boys high standard so who better to mix the album, well hell why not go all the way to the top!, and after scouring the internet they came across Mike Fraser who had just mixed AC/DC’s 'Black Ice' album. After contacting Mikes office via the number on the website and were contacted by Mike himself, just hours later the seeds of 'The Big Rock & Roll Show' were born. The album is sheer
classic rock from the Zeppelin-esque ‘Ocean Of Kings’ to the hard
rocking of the opener ‘V.I.B.E’, the superb title track ‘The Big
Rock & Roll Show’ to the groove filled ‘Studio 54’, and then
my favourite, the excellent ‘Hell To LA’. This album has
everything a classic rock fan has been crying out for, you know the
impact The Answer had on the scene, well be prepared because it's all
about to happen again when world gets around to hearing about
Liverpool’s next big thing. |
