Keeping the fire stoked it&#8217;s time for some more Glam slammin&#8217; sleazy Retro Rock n Roll. &#8216;Baby Blue is a four-track EP crammed full of guitar-driven hedonistic Rock n Roll. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love that they make no apology for their over-the-top showmanship and cocksure swagger. The lead track is one Bolan boogie woogie hip shaker in spangly spandex and more make-up than Bowie wore.  That riff is familiar but boy is it good, no it&#8217;s great. No scratch that it&#8217;s fuckin great and the breakdown into the chorus is wonderful. It&#8217;s so unashamed of its inspiration and history, and I love thatit&#8217;s delivered this well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gyasi- Baby Blue (Official Video)\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NESESc22O8c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The other three tracks on offer are all live cuts that show the band have the chops when out on the road.  &#8216;Cheap High&#8217; is badd ass like when Aerosmith were out there kicking up a storm in the late &#8217;70s an air of mystery but don&#8217;t fuck with them because these cats can play. The sleazier &#8216;Tongue Tied&#8217; with its rolling beat is one monster sleazy tune before signing off with &#8216;Sugar Mama&#8217; and all it&#8217;s bombast and glory.  I&#8217;d love to see these guys hit the UK with their live shows in some sweaty club at ear shattering volume it would be a glorious beast indeed.  Please make it happen on the next album so until then this EP will do nicely thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buy\/Stream: <a href=\"https:\/\/lnk.to\/hllLMEMG\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/lnk.to\/hllLMEMG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Author: Dom Daley<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gyasi rose to the top of the pile when the album dropped and a whole load of RPM reviewers gave it the seal of approval at the end-of-year awards.
