The percussive assault right off the bat perked my ears up. Who is this? Oh…Canadian Rock.
The lead singer sounds a lot like Paul Stanley and I sort of dig that Uber-male preening sound. (See: Dick Valentine and Electric Six or Station)
I can’t tell if this band is too late for the KISS party or too early for the hair metal of the 80s. They ride that blade. And they ride it well. “Too Bad” is a fine attempt at Cheap Trick style rock but they add Saxophones!
“Calling All Nurses” is bonkers, thematically and a rollicking roller in practice. Who the Hell are these guys?
If that kind of bombast-meets-rock & glam is your jam you could do a lot worse than Teaze, a band I had not heard of until 30 minutes ago.
I loved this the same way I loved the first Kick-Axe album.
