Details:
Ghetto Blaster follows their 2002 self titled debut that enjoyed much radio play and critical acclaim in both Canada and the U.S. No one trick pony... Revmatic delivers an album that will not only please longtime fans but will gain them many new listeners along the way. To quote The Rolling Stones "I know it's only rock and roll, but I like it". Hardcore Revheads will be pleased to know that there are no real surprises here. Revmatic didn't go nu metal or country or try to write that whiny power ballad hit to get them airplay (not that they need one given how much play they are already getting) ...instead they stuck to their guns and churned out more of the kick ass rock that has become synonymous with their name. That isn't to say that they haven't evolved or matured... they just simply continue to strive to do what they do... only better. Ghetto Blaster sounds like the next logical step forward for the band. Ghetto Blaster is a fair bit more diverse than their debut ranging from the more typical Revmatic fare of the first single "Take It" and "Away From Here" to heavier moments (like the blistering Black Sabbath like opening riff of "Never Really Know" and break down of "Just Like Before") to a reved up rendition of Madonna's mid-nineties hit "Secret". The bands keen melodic sense and love for a power pop song hasn't changed ("From Me" for instance will satisfy fans of "Eileen" and "You Know What's Right" from the band's debut disc) but this time out the band has added a few darker tunes ("Falling" and "Something That's Dead") and some rousing party rock ("This Feeling's Gonna Shock You" and "Cause a Scene" et al) into the mix. Yet the band still manges to inject some humour into their lyrics ("All ByYourself") as well as a good old f**k track ("House Of Sin") which seems destined to blare out of the speakers at the strip club or on your stereo during late night romp with the wiggler you met at the bar. Either way Revmatic has released one heck of a disc... one that you'd do yourself good to pick up a copy of. So if it's been a while since you've heard a real rock band ...pick this one up and remember how good it once was and how good it could be again. If it helps Ghetto Blaster hasn't left my uh... Ghetto Blaster... since I got the disc... and it probably won't leave yours either. Well the proof is in the pudding as they say. Mmmm... pudding.
