Incredibly it's been 12 years since the last release by this Helsinki, Finland based instrumental rock band. Their debut CD, Meet The Men Of Danger, is an incredible disc but this one - wow, it absolutely crushes it! The five member band recorded this album over a 3 year period, from 2016-2019, and it was produced by Janne Haavisto, former member of the legendary Laika & The Cosmonauts. While the band's sound is based on that cool, twangy, echoey Finland instrumental guitar sound, you'll hear lots of other influences as well, including surf, Merseybeat, spaghetti-western and Eleki. Lead guitars, rhythm guitars, slide guitars and wonderful rhythms from their bassist and drummer - it is a pure, sweet and powerful sound that just knocked me out. Most of the album is covers, but thankfully they are somewhat obscure tunes, for the most part. When they've chosen songs that are a bit more famous, such as 'A Fistful Of Dollars', 'Ginza Lights' and 'Ferry Across The Mersey', they've made them their own, and to some perhaps even exceeded the original versions. There are three original songs, including the outstanding title cut.
