It's hard to properly assess a new record while driving. So I quickly pulled it out of the sleeve and hit play. Once again, it features a red/black design, nothing special, but when you release your first record, your wallet is usually already quite thin from studio costs. It pays homage to a Beatles cover and includes a four-page booklet without lyrics, which is a shame. When I was stopped at the traffic light, it finally started: The first song kicks in so hard that I thought, "Screw red, I'm racing with the bum next to me!" At the last second, I came to my senses and switched on my, albeit smaller, analytical brain and listened attentively for the rest of the 40-kilometer drive.
They haven't reinvented the genre of "Swedish Punk Rock," but they do quite well with coherent, rolling ideas and old-school rock influences in the vein of MC5. The Hives were there before, but Losfuocos simply skipped the punk era. Sometimes there are also songs that have radio potential, which isn't necessarily bad on the way to the charts.
The label Go Down Records has a big fish on the line, and distribution through Radar surely isn't a struggle. So far, the band, which has been around since 2002, has released two demos and is now launching an album with 11 tracks.
Sonically, the guys come across as absolutely contemporary: great transparency of all instruments, which are also expertly handled, recorded fat and stylistically appropriate, the vocals are convincing, and the solos are well dosed, ranging from genuine jam sessions to heavy rock. You can also hear a bit of organ, which adds to the dynamics of the overall work.
As mentioned, they haven't reinvented anything, but what they do, they do damn well. I'm curious to see what the boys will bring in the near future and whether the label can place them effectively. The potential is there; all that's left is to wish them good luck!
