[Leatherface]
.::. The Stormy Petrel - 2010 .::.
CD - Big Ugly Fish Recordings - BUF CD 1

Die neue Platte wird von Frankie Stubbs auf seinem eigenen Label "Big Ugly Fish Recordings" herausgebracht. Neun der zwölf Songs wurden zusammen mit Gitarrist Dickie Hammond geschrieben, drei hat er alleine vollendet. Was die CD besonders interessant macht: Sie ist schwarz, die Datenseite ist wirklich tief schwarz und die obere Seite wurde im Look einer LP gestaltet, wirklich sehr schön. Das Gesamtdesign des Albums dreht sich stark um das Meer: Wie immer das Leatherface-Logo mit dem Boot, "Storm Petrel" heißt "Sturmvogel", und so heißt auch das Schiff auf dem Booklet. Dazu gibt es einen Leuchtturm, Hafen-Verladekräne und: Das Meer. Das alles ist eine romantische Sicht von Sunderland, der Heimatstadt von Stubbs. Ziemlich weit oben im Nordosten Englands an der Nordsee gelegen, dominierten hier jahrhundertelang Kohleabbau und der Hafen. Doch sowohl Schiffbau und die Zechen sind seit fast dreißig Jahren den Bach runter gegangen...

[The Hellacopters]
.::. Head Off - Februar 2008 .::.
CD - Psychout Records/Wild Kingdom - KING 050 CD

Man möchte Ihnen die Belanglosigkeit aus den Visagen prügeln (daher haben sie auch vorsichtshalber schon Helme auf). Alles, was man an den Siebzigern hassen gelernt hat, ist hier vereint. Man kann nicht anders als Schlaghosen, Freundlichkeit, Lächeln unter Oberlippenbärten, Fönwellen, und sehr große Stadien voll gestopft mit Softrock-Fans assoziieren. Allen voran das verhallt-gutmütige "Midnight Angels", das so auch von Smokie oder Journey hätte geschrieben werden können. Bei der Produktion von Chips K kann ich nur noch nach einem Eimer rufen, bevor ich meine letzte Mahlzeit wiedertreffe...
Allein der Opner "Electrocute" knüpft an alte Zeiten an.

PS: Als ich Hellacopters live diesen Murks habe spielen sehen, fragte mich mein Kumpel Sascha wieso ich den so "unangemessen aggressiv" sei.


12 Tracks: "Electrocute", "Midnight Angels", "(I'm) Watching You", "No Salvation", "In The Sign Of Octopus", "Veronica Lake", "Another Turn", "I Just Don't Know About Girls", "Rescue", "Making Up For Lost Time", "Throttle Bottom", "Darling Darling";


More Hellacopters: "Supershitty To The Max" (1996), "Payin' The Dues" (1997),
"Disappointment Blues" (1998), "By The Grace Of God" (2002),
"Air Raid Serenades" (2006)
