English band Lawless was formed by Neil Ogden (drums) and Paul Hume (vocals and guitar) of Demon when they recruited guitarist Howie G of Persian Risk and bass player Josh “Tabbie” Williams of Headrush to work on a new project. The result is a great classic rock influenced album entitled “Rock Savage” which is released by Escape Music on 19th July 2013.
In “Rock Savage”, Lawless deliver 11 rockin' anthems lasting about an hour. There are no album fillers on this release with each track consistently delivering great riffs and catchy powerful vocals. Not really much more I need to say!!
If forced to pick favourite tracks I might go for “Black Widow Ladies”, “F.O.A.D.” and “Rock n Roll City”.
You can find out more about Lawless at their website - http://www.lawlessofficial.com/ - where you’ll also get the links for their Facebook and Twitter pages etc.
About “NI Rocks Recommends”
I'm not a reviewer but wanted to acknowledge some of the great music being submitted to Rock Radio NI by artists, promoters and labels both within and outside of N Ireland. That was the idea behind “NI Rocks Recommends”. I'm not giving marks or ratings, trying to categorise bands or compare artists. The albums that I’ll be recommending would be those I’d buy myself, so there’ll be a strong focus on “classic rock” sounds; however you wish to define that! What you won’t get is death metal or similar genres. Each to his own, but that ain’t what I choose to listen to!
To be honest I’m not really a big fan of the whole idea of “Reviews” as they’re simply one person’s opinion!! “NI Rocks Recommends” is therefore just my personal recommendation. Let's just say that if I've went to the bother of writing this, I think it's worth taking a listen to and you’ll be hearing it played on my shows on Rock Radio NI!!
