The NASTYS "demo".
(Official Website)
Native of West Michigan (a territory which first doesn't sound too much inclined to enjoy the performances of the local rock bands), The NASTYS offer us 6 new songs being the result of the collaboration between Chad (vocals), Danny (drums), Joey (bass) and their two new accomplices. The band which is around since more than 3 years already have 2 Eps and can pride themselves on having Brent Muscat as a producer on 3 songs on "Old Wine, New Bottle", their second CD. As a logical following of their previous recordings in which the AC/DC influence seemed obvious, we can still feel a strong Australian blow in these new songs, but as usual too, The NASTYS let their glam sensibility express itself to offer us some music reminding me of KIX, JUNKYARD or even GUNS N'ROSES at times. However, the comparison with GLORIOUS BANKROBBERS (old Swedish glory that also used to give piquancy to their covers with young beauties dressed in short clothes) seems to be the most appropriate to me. If they manage to catch the attention of a record company, there's no doubt that you will hear from this quintet from Grand Rapids in the next months and years.
