PINK LIPS "The Wild Collection" (Demo CD.)
(Official Website)
Sweden again! This CD contains the two demos of the band ("New Sensation", recorded in 2005 and "Wild 'n' Pretty" recorded in 2004.) The first song "New Sensation" has got the same title as a WRATHCHILD (UK) song and the energy coming out of it actually made me think about the British blue-haired band. This song is a perfect opener for such a band that mixes both glam metal and glam punk with style. "Never Lie" starts with a modern (almost nu-metal) heavy guitar riff but turns out to be a real cool heavy punk rock'n'roll single. When you listen to these two demos, you can really tell the difference between the 2005 and 2004 recordings, both writing and playing have improved. Songs like "Wild 'n' Pretty", "Dancin'Around" (cool bubblgum glam punk track a la early POISON) or "Hollywood" were not bad at all but just have a younger sound if I may say so. Nothing compared to the new stuff like "Sandra Lee". When you look at the progression of the band, you can only think that their next recordings are going to be really good. I will definitely keep an eye on those LIPS.
