Rock And Hard Place  

Italy's "The Guestz" probably say it best with the title of this EP, "Not For Money, Just For Glory". They're playing a fun party-rock style of rock that reminds one of the 80's glory days. In other words, they don't seem to give a shit about the current rock trends and the serious nature of most of today's mainstream bands. There is some hope for them with the current success of Australia's "Airbourne" however. They have obvious AC/DC influences and they're young and energetic so who knows! Frontman Mimmo God has a definate Bon Scott style. He does sings with a noticably strong accent that will mostly likely dissapear a bit with time. Overall the band is quite good, they know how to rock and have some fun. They need to work on the choruses a bit more as they're the type of band that will live and die by big hooks. I feel they are really onto something here, this is a very promising start.

Note: actually it seems a not-so-good review, but the guy wrote us "Hey guys, I got the CD in today, great stuff! I've posted a few for you on my website and posted it below, hopefully it'll help out! I'm taking a little break from the radio show but I'll be saving some cuts to play them later": sounds like he loved it, instead!
