Bands like Southgang were not in the public eye long - grunge put pay to that. Whilst formulaic Southgang's 'Tainted Angel' boasted a meaty production and a handful of songs decent enough to wrench them from a million strong crowd of similar acts. Sure, it's all big hair and soaring ballads amidst the hip shaking rockier numbers, but when it works it works real well - the title cut a fine hard rock cut combining the more bolshy aspects of pristine Crue and beefier Warrant. It's a hot bed of gyrating acoustics and sultry electrics, especially on 'Aim For The...', a sweeping power ballad typical of the decade previous to Southgang's intervention. Not bad if you can look past the now seemingly dated image.Wednesday, 28 December 2011
