MAMAKIN |
 Three
song blast of raunch n’ roll from these long-running Swede sleaze-dealers.
As befits a band named after an Aerosmith song, Mamakin
sound like they wrap lotsa scarves on their mic stands; it’s full-on gypsy
metal, fulla bombastic choruses about the cosmic properties of sexual
prowess and arena-wrecking guitar solos spiraling into focus every thirty
seconds or so. Unlike most of their punk-fueled cock-rockin’ brethren,
however, Mamakin lean heavy on the big, sweet harmonies of 70’s hard rock
institutions like UFO, Starz, and even (gulp) Foghat,
as evident in the city boy boogie of “Show You Sumthin”. Of the
other two tracks, the lead-off is the winner of the pack, a slam-bang glam
metal corker with a clappable chorus and some tasty, spandex-y flash
guitars. Closer “Sunday Morning” is an overwrought cowboy ballad,
which will be of interest mostly to the girlfriends of the guys in the
band. And maybe cowboys.
