Album Review by Anselm Anderson
Multi-National Rock act Karmin Line get on board with their debut LP Like A Machine, released a couple of weeks ago.
Formed during the Covid Pandemic in UAE, the band is led by the soulful vocals of Greg Brown and is joined by guitarists- Tristan Surina and Frank Bassiouni, bassist Petar Milosevic and drummer Danny Langston.
The band lean heavily towards influences of Thin Lizzy and Led Zeppelin with groove-orientated riffs and catchy tunes.
Let's get into the album, shall we? 'Bridges of Neptune' is a soulful track with a groovy riff reminiscent of the boys back from the Town. Next is the funky 'King of the Day' with a sense of swagger and singalong verses. The band write simple songs with the intention to get people on their feet.
The album takes a backseat with the laid-back 'BIOTB' and 'Karmin Line' being songs that are more commercial-orientated for radio. 'Loose on the Weekend' is a blues number before it sparks back into life with 'Rubicon'. The album has some stellar guitar work with a tendency to explore other genres throughout 'Like A Machine', which can leave it feeling winded at times.
Overall, I did feel this was a good outing for the band and shows promise for future releases.
Rating: 8/10 The album is now available via all good streaming platforms.
