ARROWS LOUNGE "Sonic Thrust" CD
(Official Website)
This London, UK based hard rock band have released this five song CD themselves in the pure D.I.Y way... always a good point when so many bands are just waiting to get signed or whatever. The first song "Face The Sky" is quite powerful and shows that ARROWS LOUNGE have got their roots buried deep into heavy rock from the start. Nevertheless, the band keeps a bluesy and melodic edge in most of their songs that reminds me of early WHITESNAKE or other sleaze rock bands that came out later in the 90s. Of course you will find a classic rock ballad ("Worstward Ho") like on most records in that style and a few clichés but this music style is probably still alive because of these very same rock'n'roll clichés so nobody can blame ARROWS LOUNGE for that. ARROWS LOUNGE is still a young band, that means that they still sound like one but also that you can feel that they strongly believe in what they do and this CD does a very good job at introducing them...heavy rock fans, just check them out!
