   Title: Ten Arrogant Tales
   Label: PRCD Records

If you thought Italy was only famed for its Opera and its cars then think again, as three Italian rock messiahs are about to return to once again bring their infectious no nonsense sleaze filled dirt ridden rock n' roll to the masses once more.

Following their debut album You Don’t Deserve Anything Better Than This the band of Paul Del Bello (bass vox), Mexx (drums) and Marco Da Vinci (drums) have come back with 'Ten Arrogant Tales', an album that takes no prisoners as its rampaging rock n' roll from the off.

The kick ass rock begins with the intro 'Dull and Tedious' before really taking off with ‘Bouncin Betty’.  This sees the band setting out their stall from the beginning its infectious riffs build around a mammoth rhythm section this is nu-glam a sort of GnR meets The Sex Pistols.  If you're looking for a PC album then you looking in the wrong place, these guys live and breath sleaze punk and aren’t afraid to show it.

With tracks like ’Shoot You In The Face’, ‘I Need An Ugly And Stupid Girlfriend So I Can Feel So Cute And Clever’ and the rip snorting ‘Stone Cold Motherfucker’, you can instantly see where the band are going.  It’s hard, infectious and totally Street Sleaze Rock at its finest.

The band have also put their own spin on none other than Nancy Sinatra’s ‘These Boots Are Made For Walking’, which is just fantastic and rounds off a great feel good rock n' roll album.  With all that is going on around the world it's great to hear an album with no moral issues or great views on the world, this is a real kick back and let the world's worries be someone else’s problem for half and hour at least.
