Hard Riot – Living on a Fast Lane

Releasedate: 06-04-2012; Label: Pitch Black Records
By: Milla Smile

“Hard riot” is german hard rock riots as they have been named by themselves. The debut album “Living on a fast lane” will hit the music market this April.

When the album came to the end the only thought shot my head was “What the “Nickelback” I just heard?”. Seriously, there are several tracks obviously followed that Canadian band’s work. Despite this fact I would mention “Hell fire”. The track sounds harder and rioter than any else. Hell bells and rock & roll to the max. The sleazy times here we go, woohoo. Also I point the track titled “Nothing but you” (supposed to be the ballad for sure) is pretty impulsive and touching. And the last track “Rock n roll outlaws”. Pretend that you listen to the rock’n’roll anthem. The guys tried their best to beat everything from the equipment.

Resuming all the emotions and feelings I can name this album stereotypical. The cover pictured bike and crossroad (stairway to heaven or highway to hell), rebel titles of songs – anything can’t change those shy guys which eager to be the hardest riots in the end. The least, there is plenty of time to become less “nickelbacked”.
