Doomfoxx is an Australian band that takes you on a trip through rock and roll country. We are talking about their debut album here, which was preceded a couple of months ago by two singles ('Piece Of Me' en 'My Beautiful Friends'). If you would have to define the sound of this band you pretty soon end up with AC/DC in the Bon Scott era (singer Stuart McKie sounds a lot like the legend), though they try to give an own ring to it. Last summer the band toured Europe for the first time, with as highlight their gig at Wacken Open Air. If I was asked to filter out the best tracks on the album I would go for the tasty 'Piece Of Me', the quiet and bluesy tune 'My Beautiful Friends', the Motörhead like 'Abandon All Hope' and 'Schoolboy Adonis' with its catchy guitar solo. I think this lot will do best at small stages in small, overcrowded clubs, and they made just the right record for this. According to some editor of the prestigious American Billboard Magazine this record is "The Album Of The Year". Well, I can't say I am quite as excited, but people who love pure and hard rock 'n roll should give Doomfoxx a try. Score: 73/100 |
