Rome Italy’s Supersonic Deuces is the brain child of Andy Angelini (Stormlord) and Dave Scala (Enemynside). Formed in 2005 Andy and Dave started the sleazy rock band, Stick It Out (Sliptrick Records). Wanting to push further into the realms of Action and Garage Rock and drawing inspiration from the punk and Scandi Rock N Roll scenes, the band recruited Dave’s brother, Dan Scala, as well as Francesco “Franzi” Bucci and Supersonic Deuces were born.

After a debut EP, ‘Hey Now!’, released in 2022, My first introduction to the band was via a split 7” with Swedish action rock comrades Scumbag Millionaire.

Drawing influences from Action Rock legends like Backyard Babies, The Hellacopters and parts of Turbonegro, Supersonic Deuces highly anticipated debut album, “Deuce On The Loose” is set for a worldwide release on March 21, 2025. The album is exactly what you would imagine from four heavily tattooed, Trucker cap-wearing facial hair-sporting rockers with Orange amps turned up to the max and a penchant for Wah pedals there’s no escaping the Rock. From the off its full tilt Rockin as ‘Haze The Hides’ nails their colours to the mast with a bullet. Rapid rockin’ par excellence, they’ve obviously been paying attention and the songs come thick and fast. I particularly enjoyed the fucked up fuzzed-out ‘Hole Shot’.

It’s not until the mid-tempo of ‘Twenty-Four Seven’ that they ease up but it’s still every corner is filled with guitars and clocking in at over five minutes the band isn’t afraid to take you on a trip.

Keeping the tunes around the perfect three-minute single mark they ignite again for ‘Bored Stroked’ and the punchy Stooges-infused piano tonk that is ‘Hey Now’. ‘I’m Alright’ is a foot in Hellacopters land and the other splayed on the monitor drenched in beer and axel grease if only Backyard Babies still rocked this hard eh.

The ten-song salvo cuts and runs with ‘Knocks Off’ and leaving on a high is always good. I’ve not really played a tonne of Action Rock for a while and these guys box themselves in the category with a swagger and their heads held high – Supersonic Deuces rock like fuck and I’m sure if they were to turn up in a bar and plug in I’d thoroughly appreciate the cut of their jib and these Italians pass the test with flying colours and ‘Deuce On The Lose’ walks the walk. Check em out baby it’s only Rock n Roll and I like it!
