The 1980 Listening Post - The Angels - Dark Room

 The Angels - Dark Room



#263

The Angels
Dark Room
Genre: Power Rock 
3.25 out of 5

Highlights:
Night Comes Early

While they will hit their apex in a few years The Angels, also known as Angel City, from Australia come across as a Boomtown Rats sound alike band. Just a year earlier the Rats put out one of my favorite records of the era, The Fine Art of Surfacing. This record sounds like someone got their hands on that Down Under and made it the template for their recording d’etre. 
The songs are sort of uninteresting and the vocals are just play Lemmy-Ugly, man and they do not really fit the tunes.
