Outlaw Blood - Outlaw Blood (1991)

This slipped under the sleazy radar didn't it! Not a bad record at all although I know very little about these American cowboys. It's all dressed up like some kinda swaggering, cigarette smoking, whiskey swigging sleaze rocket, but there's a bit more behind the black eyes. Not an alternative streak to it but elements of Kik Tracee fused with the more recognisable LA Guns et al. Some very catchy tunes on offer, not as ballsy as say Shake The Faith, but injected with enough hooks to enable a few listens. There must have been a lot of bands out there like this who slipped by the wayside and now lay dead in the cemetery of lost sleazy souls, but it's a highlight of a day, month, or year, to find something like this which clearly strives to be melodic and above us decent amidst a heaving crowd of other bands striving for the same strip club image.

6.5/10
