The first song is a copycat of ... Dire Straits, a bit harder maybe, but still a copycat. I will apply the football rule : red card for this song. The rest of the record is a mixture of blues rock including ZZ top songs, some AC/DC riffs here and there and a lot of "boogie rock riffs". The legendary Rose Tattoo's (Pete Wells) guitarist has recorded a funny album. Nothing bad here, actually very catchy ... but as for the inspiration ???

Anyway, if you like the above bands, check this one. But I am sure you will have the same feeling I got : I knew these songs from the beginning to the end (ZZ top, Dire Straits or AC/DC). I highly suggest you to buy the original records instead of this copycat. Those bands created that style, they deserved the awards ... not this Hateball. Music has changed guys, you are just .... Dinosaurs. I really recommend you to try before you buy !
