Circus Diablo - s/t (2007)


Buckcherry, Beautiful Creatures...and now Circus Diablo. This is a supergroup somewhat, featuring, on rhythm guitar, Ricky Warwick (ex Almighty), Matt Sorum on drums, Billy Duffy (The Cult) on lead guitar and Billy Morrison on vox. My only issue with Circus Diablo being they lack the oomph and meaty swagger of the already mentioned bands, even so, 'Loaded' is a corker of a rock 'n' roll track and shows just how crap Velvet Revolver really are. 'Restless', 'Shine', 'Mad Parade', also follow suite...good time rock 'n' roll...slightly let down by the weak vocal attack of Morrison, but the guitar attack of Duffy and Warwick can't be faulted. Unfortunately, no big choruses to bite the throat, except 'Mad Parade', but for me it's not enough. However, Circus Diablo make for a decent listen but left me gagging for something else.
