Rock Eyez [3/5]  

THE GUESTZ release their debut CD “Not for Money Just for Glory” on Illegal Records. Call it want you want but THE GUESTZ bring Sleaze back with that 80’s edge.

The first cut, ”Jonna Wants Two Beers”, is a kicker with fist raising chants or wants. In this case two beers! The vocals done by Mimmo God, Yea that’s what it says in the credits, is not the greatest singer, but with an Italia accent and a sort of Bon Scott style, it fits the music real well.

“Piracy” has some cool riffs and not complicated harmonies but an “all sing along style,” where if you went to see them it would probably demand your attention.

I checked out there website and the photo section, as to no surprise my hunch was right, these guys look like they are having the time of their lives!

Isn’t that is what it’s all about? “House of Rock” is another dirty sounding ol’ fashion rock tune, not for me but being this only a five-song release CD it runs well with the other songs. The band consisting of singer Mimmo God on vocals, as mentioned previously. Guitars are provided by Jonna “Two beers” Jonna has a real good sound and provides high energy throughout the CD. Rob ‘n’ Roll on bass holds down the bottom end as does Matt the drummer. Come on guys you could have given Matt a cool name too, like the rest of you cats! How about Matty two Shots!

Anyway, the last two cuts “Naked Alice” and “In The Blink Of An Eye” are what you would expect, nothing fancy, just down and dirty!

If you enjoy the ol’school sleaze rock, THE GUESTZ will help you get your fill. If they come to a city near you, go see them; it looks like one wild time!

Rock On!
