Accolades for Cruise-o-matic
Brand new album by the Norwegian dudes. Ten tracks of pure heavy stuff with acid blasts. A perfect follower to "Aloha From Saturn" which kicked ass in 2000.
This is big, heavy guitar riffing, cool lyrics, American cars and sunglasses size xxl. Some of these guys look as if they where taken out of "Boogie Nights". Pawnshop sounds like a collision between Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Gluecifer and Monster Magnet at their best. This is what retro rock should sound like. Check out this album and you're sold.
While the 21st century offers an incredible amount of musical alternatives and choice, it's refreshing to know that there are groups like Pawnshop out there getting back to basics and pounding out mean, fuzzball rock'n'roll. Pawnshop does what Fu Manchu, Nebula and Hellacopters have made popular, and they do it well. Whatever the future brings, there will always be a need for this kind of kick-arse rock.
