What do
you get if you take some of the best young musicians from the Italian
Underground scene and put them together under on moniker? The answer is
Wake Up Call, these are four guys that deliver big tunes with a real
modern bite. The
bands self-titled five track EP is a great first taste of what the band
are all about, as they really set out their stall from the off with the
thumping ‘Revolution’, the band delivers a sleazy brand of hard rock
that pulsates throughout the entire five tracks. Things
keep that angst filled modern edge with the stunning ‘The Devil's
Round’, with frontman Tommy delivering a sleazy vibed vocal that is
very reminiscent of Canadian glamster Robin Black, with Olly punching out
a real riff fest, all the while the rhythm section of Dario and Matt
provide a
powerful back beat that just brings it all together. The
band show they can deliver a varied mix of hard edge and melodic hard
rock as they bring it down just a touch, (I mean just a touch) with
‘Before I Fall’, a real great slice of modern youth angst filled rock
n' roll, which is the bands first video and my choice of one of the best
songs off the EP. Speaking
of modern angst rock then check out the thumping ‘Here To Stay’, a
track that will go down well with both the older rock fans and the new
breed of young rock fans who are just getting the message that Emo is a
no no and rockin' out and having a good time is the way to go. The EP
closes with another mid tempo rocker in ‘Full Of Regrets’. This one
was overseen on the studio by the one and only Beau Hill, he who worked
with the great Alice Cooper, the legend that is Eric Clapton and the
mighty Europe. This is
one of the best young bands I’ve heard to come out of Italy for a
while and I for one predict
these guys are going to
become household names, not just in their native Italy,
but
worldwide, I can't wait for the full album. |
