ALBUM REVIEW- THE TEN TON TINNIES - TONS OF TINS

-



Queensland - based country-punk rockers' The Ten Ton Tinnies are a band that featured heavily on these pages back in May with "Bad Gas Travels Fast in a Small town", a fun take on town gossip, served with a hint of the band's raucous humour and hard-hitting rock.

The trio will finally unleash their debut album Tons of Tins on July 31st to an army of new followers. The LP is ten songs of their unabashed humour mixed with country grooves, punk attitude and some drinking tales. Part-Time Hillbilly is a punchy opening track with plenty of guts and energy. Vocalist Luke Turley seems intent in this narrative about leaving home. He delivers with panache against a backdrop of thunderous drums and jangly guitars that feel like this could be a future hit.


Down in the Country is an energetic punk song reminiscent of bands like Simple Plan if they were born in the south. An introspective lyrical style of life in the country combines to create A singalong chorus and huge pop hooks with an instrumental taken from the deep roots.


Throwdown turns the volume up to ten in this confrontational rocker. The aggressive guitars converge with an in-your-face vocal timbre that reminds listeners they remain a band's best-kept friend.
'Take Me to the Town' is a high - octane, party song. The combination of the slide guitar stylings and an abrasive riff adds a dimension to another insightful look into life for the musicians. It is an enjoyable track that typically represents the upcoming band's gradual evolution as gifted songwriters, as well as their effervescent personalities. The song wraps up with a salacious solo straight out of Lynryd Skynryd territory.


The Tinnies try their hand with a trip to heavy metal land with the explosive WHPH. The song is a rallying cry with chunky guitars and a fast-paced vocal style that reflects a good time for the boys from down under. 'Here's to Drinking' is a mid-tempo country song with a nod to enjoy a good beer with melodic vocals and acoustic guitars. The track helps strike a balance between the heavier ones on Tons of Tins. An album version of the aforementioned 'Bad Gas.'. finalises a rollercoaster of a ride for this first


. Overall, I feel The Ten Ton Tinnies introduce us to a collection of fun-loving rock songs, soaked in beer and good ol' rock 'n' roll


The Ten Ton Tinnies Tons of Tins is out on July 31st via all good music platforms

  Words from Anselm Anderson Nu-Metal is making a return with a bang. The latest band to embrace the genre that mixed down-tuned guitars with mixing desks and aggressive vocals about personal struggles and social anxieties is Virginia-based sextet,  Saint Diablo. Today, the Latin Americans release their latest four-track EP 'The Reckoning' via Eclipse Records.  The band consists of lead vocalist Tito Quinones, guitarist Justin Adams, bassist Zach San Pietro, drummer Anthony San Pietro, and percussionist Awesome Ray Ray. It has released two full releases to date, including 2015's critically -acclaimed Devils, Horns and Halos. The Reckoning  is no exception as the band delivers four sizzling tracks of apoplectic rage, thunderous riffs and catchy choruses to set themselves loose on the metal world. Upon first listening, I felt the band reminded me of the 2000's Latin Nu-metal group Il Nino. Ironically, this EP  was mixed, mastered, and recorded by the band's producer

  Words by Anselm Anderson Metalcore act Paradis released their hotly-anticipated self-titled debut EP last week, The quintet combines the raw ferocity of the genre's vocals with the dark atmospheric music of black metal, which is a unique approach to the revived genre, once maligned by metalheads all over. Formed in London, England, the multicultural group consists of vocalist Johnny Weaver, guitarists Pedro Silva and Federico Di Biase, bassist Mark Kuchmenko and drummer Flynn Everard. The band commented on how this was a team effort, reflected over five intense, headbanging tracks. Photo Credit: Michael Williams One notable aspect of this EP is the diversity of the tracks. Paradis delivers powerful and ominous metal with impactful orchestration and bone-shaking breakdowns. The band's creative ideas allow the music to take on a life of its own, showcasing a contrast between aggressive, angst-filled vocals paired with heavy riffs, and melodic vocals set against gothic underton
