PARADICE 'sex, lipstick and rock'n'roll'CD (website)
Big hair, lipstick traces on the cover...80s glam/sleaze metal still seem to be alive in Sweden (as well as in Italy for instance), from various influences in the music of bands like BACKYARD BABIES or HARDCORE SUPERSTAR to bands like PARADICE who have chosen to play this musical style like it used to be without paying attention to what the new hype is. This female fronted band claim MOTLEY CRUE, CINDERELLA, MADAM X or TWISTED SISTER as their influences and the first listening of this CD proves them right since it gives the impression that this could have been realeased in the 80s.10 songs and a cool CD-ROM presentation with a bio and pictures from the band can be found on the CD. This is not a bad album, far from that but it may sound too old-school hard rock for me at times, nevertheless... this will please every fan of hair bands though, no doubt about it!
