Artist: Wig Wam  
   Title: Non Stop Rock & Roll
   Label: Frontiers Records

When the names of Glam, Teeny, Flash and Sporty first hit the scene people thought that the Norwegian Glamsters Wig Wam were one hit wonders, but when they produced the goods with their second album people soon changed their minds about the quartet.  Well, let me tell you when this their latest release hits the streets, you better be prepared for the next wave of support for the band to hail them as the saviours of good time party rock n' roll, as this is without a doubt the bands best release to date.

'Non Stop Rock n Roll' is just that, this in good time rock n' roll from start to finish, with each track just brimming with excellent guitar licks from Teeny, together with a great rhythm section courtesy of Sporty and Flash and a tremendous vocal as only Glam can deliver.

With more hooks than a fisherman’s tackle box and more melody than is legal, the band have put together a real monster of an album.

From the opener ‘Do Ya Wanna Taste It’, you'll be reaching for the spandex and back combing what’s left of your hair as the band bring back a smile to the rock world.

The album keeps it’s feel good factor going with ‘Walls Come Down’, again a guitar laden spectacular with Teeny firing on all six once more, as he does throughout the album.  Things keep going with one of the best rockers on the album ‘Wild One’, a real show stopper with a great chorus wrapped around superb vocal from Glam.

Another of my favourite tracks off the album has to be the stomping stadium rocker ‘C’mon On Everybody’.  I for one can’t wait to hear this song performed live.  There is a maturity about this album that the bands previous albums have just shown glimpses of, but this for me is the real deal for the band and with some great tracks to come like ‘Still I’m Burning’, the superb title track ‘Non Stop Rock And Roll’ and ‘Chasing Rainbows’, this album has to be my album of the month for January because of the feel good factor.  And as the cold spell continues I'm just gonna reach out for this album and the air just warms around me, right from the first track to the last.  Without a doubt this is 'Non Stop Rock And Roll!'.

Those of you who thought this band were cheesy can eat your words because they are a real rock n' roll band in the largest sense of the word and this album is proof of that.
