Australian band ‘Blow’ have put together a great collection here of catchy hard rockers that thirty years ago would be catching far more ears than they are likely to do today; maybe even bothering the upper notches of the charts. Back to 2016 and if you’re a fan like us of that timeless hard rock then this is definitely an independent release to check out.
It’s not new, not cutting edge but it is of a quality you don’t hear every day. Opener ‘It’s a Start’ may be the most instant hit here (well what do ya expect!) but this is a confident album, well played and as I said with the songs to back it up. ‘Goodbye’ lay a cool groove, but it’s one of many winners along with the likes of ‘Narrow Minds’; ‘When I’m Gone’ and the bluesier closing handful led by the impressive ‘Doctor’.
Always nice to hear great local music and ‘Blow’ is certainly a band to try and checkout live by the sounds of this rather fine selection.
