MonoDeluX “Time Wounds All Heels”

A band introducing themselves as “The Stooges and Roxy Music locked in a cell with a large amount of crystal methamphetamine and a massive battery of highly volatile explosives, trying to hold off the likes of the MC5 and the Spiders from Mars” can only get our attention, right? This californian gang offers us some highly explosive punk rock’n’roll indeed when listening to “Kill” or “Burn” and an elegant touch of glam rock in “Now” so they haven’t lied. MonoDeluX members have played in various bands such as FUNHOUSE, CIRCUS OF POWER, MINK DAGGERS, DRAMARAMA, GENE LOVES JEZEBEL and MISSING PERSONS so it can only help with creativity. Although the MonoDeluX has a strong punk’n’roll vibe (“Stalin’”, “Sigmund Freuder OverDrive” or “Franchise”), “Blacker Shade Of Blue” and “The Crown” lean on the sleaze rock side while you’ll find a touch of 70s tragic pop sensibility in “Alone”, a song that also has a bit of PULP in it. These guys also have the good taste to cover BOWIE‘s “Boys Keep Swinging” and it’s actually a very good version of the son ! “Time Wounds All Heels” a really good rock’n’roll album with good hooks and STOOGES guitars (“Shake It”) and that’s exactly what we all need right now! /Laurent C.
