Where did ballsy rock music go? I’m all about the indie rock and swoopy-haired pop/punk, but what happened to music that smacked you in the face?
Meet Super 400, Troy, NY based rock trio that effortlessly taps Led Zeppelin as well as Stone Temple Pilots, and maybe even a little Back Door Slam.
Their upcoming album “Sweet Fist,” due out September 8th, landed on my desk and it won’t leave rotation. My favorite track, “FFMN,” immediately grabs you with a head knodding heavy guitar riff akin to Audioslave. The intense vocals come from deep within, carrying just enough snarl and growl for you to know he means it. The single (available for download with a quick Google search), “Flashlight,” a more radio-friendly tune contrasts beautifully, capitalizing on female bassist Lori Friday’s very soothing vocals laid against a more relaxed groove that just makes you feel good. “The End,” a grimy bluesy ballad complete with a steel guitar sound that pops, highlights just how versatile they can be.
Attention audiophiles, this album was recorded entirely on 2 inch tape. This band is no joke. No autotune, no protools, just rock. Didn’t think it still existed, did you?
