The 1984 Listening Post - Krokus - The Blitz

Krokus - The Blitz


#216
August 26 1984
Krokus
The Blitz
3.25 out of 5

Highlights:
Boys Nite Out

Speaking of Glam Metal. Here’s another band that wants to be Slade, covers The Sweet and fails at both. Admittedly, Headhunter wasn’t terrible and neither is this, wholly. And to prove it, they cover “Ballroom Blitz” in a version that makes you want to immediately wash it out with the original upon listening. 
Instead of going full glam, though, they hew closer to AC/DC and they are better off for it on “Boys Nite Out” and “Out to Lunch” where Marc Storace sounds more like Bon Scott than Scott did.
