Lyin Rampant - Up And Cumin (1987)

C'mon...the band name might be pants but that's a cracker of an album title and a greater cover! Middle of the road metal yet once again, a record with charm, somehow anthemic, especially on a track like 'Kill Them All' with those background chants and catchy guitars. Vocally it's rather timid, and yet again, it wins me over...how many times can I fall for such obscure metal? I'm a sucker for this type of stuff, from the AC/DC style strut of 'Fantasy Girl' or the ballad 'Don't Walk Away,' the band nothing more than archetype rock with those crusty perms and dodgy attire. All pretty harmless, lacking fire but there's no doub that if you're mum had found the cover laying on the floor you'd have bene grounded for a week! 5.5/10
