HELLACOPTERS / STRIKES LIKE LIGHTNING

This is a 6 tracker from Stockholm’s finest, The Hellacopters, its been 2 years since "By The Grace Of God" and the guys are one top form, rocking like their lives depends on it.

Music like this is timeless, all of the tracks could have been written any time over the last 4 decades and many have tried to copy their sound, with varying degrees of success but the Hellacopters are still top dogs, when it comes down to good old Rock n Roll. Tracks like "Turn The Wrong Key", "A View From Nowhere" and "Fiend & Frankenstein" sound so simple and are played with such passion that you can’t help but get blown away by them.

Sometimes you need some good honest Rock with them emphasis on songs and when you do, reach for a Hellacoptes CD, accept no substitute.

TOTAL PLAYING TIME = 17 mins + 6 TRACKS
