TOXIC ROSE “S/T”

TOXIC ROSE
“Toxic Rose”
(Rock It Up)
I don’t pay too much attention to the sleaze side of hardrock/metal. I read about the bands in magazines but I don’t play their music on my stereo and I don’t by their albums. Yet when an album comes my way I most often end up digging the music. If my life depended on it I couldn’t name any of the newer bands in this genre. The names go in one way and comes out the other. They don’t stick. But when I get a chance to hear a band in this genre I most often end up enjoying them. I like up tempo songs full of melodies and sleaze seem to be about just that. Toxic Rose are no worse than any other band I’ve heard in this genre. On the contrary. This is hardrock that would appeal to anybody with a fancy for great melodies and attitude aplenty. Anders Ekdahl
