JetBoy - Feel The Shake (1988)

Big hair and AC/DC style riffs on this '80s sleaze record. The album rips straight from the start, the title track struts with an Angus Young inspired groove and those glammed up vocals coutesy of Mickey Finn. JetBoy boast the talent of ex-Hanoi bassist Sam Yaffa who struts all over this record amidst those cool, swanky riffs and solo's courtesy of Fernie Rod and Billy Rowe. It's pretty much minor league glam metal that likes to take inspiration from the likes of Hanoi Rocks, but it's quite rewarding too, from the mid tempo 'Make Some Noise' to the swashbuckling swagger of the poppy 'Fire In My Heart.' This isn't far removed from the bubblegum pop rock of Poison or Tigertailz, but sadly, like so many other bands of the era, it doesn't too enough to grab you by the balls. 6/10
