BILLION DOLLAR BABIES
Ladies First

Billion Dollar Babies

________________________________________________________

Quartet of swankily dressed Swedes who, despite swiping the name of Alice Cooper’s old backing band, sound more like Skid Row than hard-hearted Vince. These cats have only been together for a year, but aside from some shaky harmonizing here and there, they sound like a whole flash metal army advancing under clouds of confetti and blinding flashpots. Walls of dive-bombing guitars, pneumatic, fuckable sleaze metal rhythms, and a nasally Baz whine up front all add up to pure, mindless raunch n’ roll. “Ladies First” is a 4 song demo, with three chugging headbangers up front and a hook-heavy pop metal number, “Right on Time”, finishing things off in fine handclapping, scream-along style. With looks and hooks all present and accounted for, these Babies might grow up to be big bad rock n’ roll motherfuckers in the next few years. Keep yr eyes on ‘em. ________________________________________________________
