Bakers Pink - Bakers Pink (1993)


I'm confused. Promising retro-rock band The Front dissolved after one impressive debut record, and then the band kinda come back as Bakers Pink, record a similar record, and once again fade away! What was the point ? This record is heavier, but only sightlier, than The Front record, offering a little more hip-shaking, Saigon Kick-inspired grooves, i.e. 'Euphoria', although the album opens rather bizarrely with a piano-based track, albeit a nice tune, 'The Noose...' which for some could be rather misleading. Again, it's shimmering rock fronted by Michael Franano who remains somewhere between Billy Idol and Jim Morrison, but as a record it's fleeting and unrewarding.


6.5/10
