OSUKARU “Triumphant”

OSUKARU
“Triumphant”
(City Of Lights)
I should know this band but I’m sorry to say so; I have no bloody clue what this is all about. Which makes me a bit curious to find out if this really is as cool as it is said to be. OSUKARU is allegedly a really cool hardrock band. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again hardrock is not my fave cup of tea but when it is done with real passion I’m the first in line carrying the banner high. OSUKARU has a feel to the music that makes me sit up and take notice. There is that American radio rock of the 80s that I have a perverse fascination with. You know the kind you hear in movies like Beverly Hills Cop and in TV shows like Miami Vice. I am also a sucker for Bon Jovi’s forst two albums. All that combined make my heart tick that little extra when I hear this album. Anders Ekdahl
