At the same time as ('James Durbin'), singer 'Antony Ellis' (singer also of 'Bigfoot') released his first album under the project name of 'Kreek' in which he invited guitarists 'Nick Clarke' and 'Dan Collict', bassist 'Lee Andrews' and drummer 'Seb Sweet'. They offer us 10 tracks that take us back a few decades starting with the mid-tempo 'At The Bottom Of Hell' with all the ingredients of a good classic hard-rock : a melody that is immediately tamed, a lively rhythm on which we immediately want to stomp, a singer who, without forcing his voice, offers a remarkable vocal performance and, icing on the cake, a final guitar solo worthy of the name highlighting 'Nick Clarke'. And it continues in this electric atmosphere with an energetic 'Missiles', a huge 'Meet Your Maker' with its addictive rhythm and its heady chorus, followed by 'Million Dollar Man' of a formidable efficiency (which was the subject of a video, see above). Same atmosphere with the groovy 'One Voice' and its Arabian sounds, then the catchy and melodic 'Man On My Together' with a new heady chorus. The end of the album does not weaken and offers us 'Stand Together' that the British of 'Led Zeppelin' would not have denied, 'Down' N Dirty 'with a new rhythm that gives you an irresistible desire to move and' Get Up 'which, as its title suggests, is not the kind of song that we listen to wisely without moving, the opus ending with the ballad of the album, always very classic but which allows you to recover smoothly and beautifully from all the previous melodic hits.
In short, like the last album of 'James Durbin', the English of 'Kreek' offer us an album filled with good hard-rock which takes us back to the golden age of this style which intends 'Kreek' to a whole audience which loves the great hard-rock formations of the 70s... | |
