Twenty 4 Seven - Destination Everywhere (2002)

John Corabi is somewhat of a rock journeyman, a voice that deserves rock stardom and yet he's never been able to settle in the huge rock band he deserves. In 2002 he enlisted the services of ex-Ratt veteran Bobby Blotzer and hot guitarist Robert Marcello (Danger Danger), and they stoked up this fiery rocker that, with a sprig of the alternative makes for quite a refreshing listen. Any band fronted by that soulful rasp is bound to have balls, but Twenty 4 Seven, despite being a one-album wonder, were worth their weight in gold. I doubt this sold many copies, but isn't it always the way? Even so, 'Destination...' boasts some cracking hard rock tunes, including the infectious 'Limelight,' the breezy 'Someone I Don't Wanna Be,' and a glorious cover of 'No Matter What.' This is a solid record that uplifts the soul. 7/10
