Loud n' Nasty - Teaser Teaser (2005)

Okay, so a majority of glam/sleaze bands, especially those today, have godawful names, but in keeping with the '80s hair metal hullabaloo, Loud n' Nasty have kept this dirty enough for it to work. File alongside Crazy Lixx, Crash Diet, et al, for that seemingly sincere and understanding of all the hairspray acts that have gone before. There are some killer guitar solo's on here, all very much nodding to the weightier side of bands such as Crue. Naturally, it can start to grate and will have you putting on your original '80s records, but I've heard far worse and in this day and age of drivel and dross such as Snow Patrol and Coldplay, it's great to hear bands gettin' sleazy and also great that there's a scene too. The biggest issue with this type of revival metal is when it doesn't work - as in the case of so many watery thrash bands and glam bands who end up sounding too pop, but although these guys aren't exactly loud or particularly nasty, it deserves a few spins. Rock on boys...
