CRUCIFIED BARBARA

Already from the opening track it's clear that this band only offers first class songs. Mind you, the titles and lyrics are not always what you might think they actually are...

I sell my kids for rock'n'roll is the big bang that wakes you up! Janis Joplin backed up with an AC/DC retro sound! It's the golden edition of hard rock with a female panther! You can feel their drive, the energy and you absolutely sense that the lyrics are coming from her heart! Just listen to To Kill A Man! So yes, you better handle this lady with care! The vocals are simply reflecting the lyrics as it should be and that is simply the maximum one can expect from a band!

Electric Sky sounds again a bit like AC/DC, but then female fronted! It's high voltage power play, with a melancholic touch! The chorus is very catchy and haunts your head pretty fast!

The Ghost Inside is a great melancholic track. Don't Call On Me sounds very retro, with the right vibe! Man, I really adore her voice! The title track In The Red has (again) that Janis Joplin vs. AC/DC sound. Just listen to the guitars, it's a roaring hell with very persuasive vocals!

Lunatic # 1 has guitars with a blues-sound and melancholic vocals! I can imagine that a lot of people will love this one when they perform this one on stage!

Shadows and Finders Keepers keep the hard rock-party going on!

Do you want me is another pearl that will be a huge success on stage! Follow The Stream must be a very satirical track, as I don't believe that this band will do that!

I searched and searched, but didn’t find one bad note, not even a small negative remark! They rocked me from the first till the very last note!

For sure one of the CD’s from this month!
