Jizzy Pearl (Love/Hate) - Live Review

 

Venue - Real Time Live - Chesterfield 

4.5.2018

Real time live is a venue I have a lot of love for having played the stage many times and seen many bands perform on it. The stage is big, the lighting is great and the PA sounds fantastic. If you can't sound good in here then you've got no chance.

Line up

Jizzy Pearl 
Doomsday Outlaw
Emperors Of The Wasteland



First to the stage we have Emperors Of The Wasteland from Derby. The sound that came from the stage right from the beginning was very powerful. All the instruments were very clear and hard hitting. The way hard rock is meant to be. Nick (bass) was very animated on stage doing away with any notion that bass players should be heard and not seen. This in stark contrast to the guitarist who, maybe because of his physical build, reminded me of a doorman at a nightclub. Whilst he wasn't moving around too much it suited the riffs he has playing. No nonsense rock. Al's vocals came across solid and consistent if sometimes a little lost in the mix. The song's sometimes were a bit hit and miss for me but overall I enjoyed it.
With no released music as of yet (debut album in July), I can't show you what they sounded like but you can follow them here to catch them live for yourself.

Next up we have Doomsday Outlaw. It's almost a year to the day that I first and last saw this band and have been meaning to see them again since. I don't think I have enough good things to say about them. They play southern tinged groove rock and deliver it with the high energy rock music is known for. The set consisted of a number of songs from their upcoming release 'Hard Times', which is coming out on the Frontiers record label. I'm glad they have been recognised and given the opportunity to rise. 
You should see this band live if only to watch the dance moves of the lead vocalist. His hips and shoulders are always moving and you can tell he loves what he does. You get the feeling he forgets he's not in a nightclub but its fun to watch. I will definitely catch this band when they next come by and you should too.

On to the main event we have Jizzy Pearl of Love/Hate / LA Guns. I have to admit that I only knew one song which is 'Blackout and the red room' so I could hardly be considered a proper fan but I like that song and was ready to learn more about 'Uncle Jizzy' (his words, not mine). Unlike a lot of 80's high screaming vocalists, Jizzy's voice has held up rather well. It still sound like the epitome of sleaze. You'd be forgiven for thinking you'd stepped back in the 80's but swapped the spandex for black denim. Pure feel good rock and roll delivered by people who there 'back in the day'. His new album is also being released on frontiers record label and his set was a mix of this and, from what I could gather with the crowd singing along, classics. Throughout the set Jizzy would unleash pearls of Jizzdom (his words, not mine) like 'Music keep you young'. I believe that's true. You get life lessons as well as American sleaze at the Jizzy show. I liked it and am currently checking out his back catalogue so he won me over.

Tremonti - A Dying Machine

Found Mark Tremonti is a guitarist I've followed since the end of Creed (wasn't a massive fan of that). His work with Alter Bridge and his previous solo albums though have all been worthy of well more than a passing listen. His skills on the guitar improve with every release and in the case of the Tremonti albums, so have his vocals. After a slightly disappointing release from his Alter Bridge colleague earlier in the year I was quietly confident that the next Tremonti release (this one) would not let me down. Largely I'd say it hasn't. The steady increase in quality from his previous 3 albums reaching what appear...

Delayed Departure - Your Colours

Release date : Oct 19th Track Listing: 01 Neon Lights 02 Who Are You 03 Breathe It In 04 Better Way To Be 05 Your Colours 06 Too Close Delayed Departure are a 5 piece alternative rock band from Farnborough. I first came across this band with the single 'Ocean' from the last E.P release 'Consequences'. It was a track that I loved and was patiently waiting to hear what this next collection of tracks was going to be like. The recommendation is that they are for fans of You Me At Six, Mallory Knox & Deaf Havana. I couldn't tell you what any of those sound like but if it's true I'll have to check them out as well. The comparison I would loosely draw is with InMe at least from the instrumental section of the band. We're off to a good start with the first song and lead single for the E.P 'Neon Lights'. It opens up with quite a bouncy guitar riff with a layer of atmospheric lead that leads into more uptempo verse. The chorus sees v...

Best of 2018

I haven't posted for a while mostly because I've been obsessed with old albums I've discovered and this is not what this blog is about for me. It's about promoting what is new because despite the cries that rock and metal are dead. It's just not true. I'm going to share with you my top five releases from this year that I heavily recommend. I know the year isn't technically over yet but if something new comes in I'll let you know No.1 Judas Priest's 'Firepower' is the definition of heavy metal from the legends that created it. A well deserved top spot. No.2 Doomsday Outlaw take the second spot with 'Hard Times'. Only on their second album they have delivered a belter and hopefully have a lot more where this came from. No.3 Album number 3 comes from local (to me) stoner groove metallers Witch Tripper. 'I, of the storm' is another second album that see's the band reach a new level and one that should defin...
