*disclaimer* this is a very guy type blog post.

So my totaly rock and roll self was drinking beer and watching Fuse the other day. I dont know why. Since it always seemed to be a station full of hot topic metal goth wannabes. Although Mistress Juliya is pretty hot. Shes seems to be rather snobbish though. Either way, I would still totally fool around with her.
Getting back to my point... wait... what was my point. Sorry I was thinking about Juliya...

Ok so this band came on. They were called Damone. I'm thinking "ok another Satanic metal band. whatever." The song starts out with this totally righteous Iron Maiden Guitar riff. I think, "ok thats cool." But then the singer shows up and its a chick. An extremly hot Joan Jett lookalike chick at that. Even so, I almost changed the station because I just dont get into chicks who sound like cookie monster. But then she started singing... and I think my pants got a bit tighter. No cookie monster voice. Instead I was pleasantly suprised and reminded of Tanya Donnely singing songs written by The Sounds and played by Judas Priest. Naturaly I ran directly to Oink to see if I could download the album. to my suprise there were two albums available. Snatched em both. listened to them. Loved them, went to Tower and grabbed them both.

Thier newest release, Out There All Night, Which was released a month ago, Totally reminds me of hanging out with my older cousins at the lake drinking beer listening to Motley Crue, Metallica and Judas Priest albums. It has its Cheesy moments. But isnt that what Ronnie James Dio taught us? Metal should have a little cheese with it? Its just fun. its going to be on steady repeat this summer. As soon as I get my Ipod back from Apple, this is the first thing im putting on it.

The lyrics are your typical anti-establishment question authority, psycho ex girlfriend - my boyfriend cheated on me lyrics. All in good fun. I found myself quickly singing along with thier classic 80's rock style radio station choruses.

There are even classic Motley Crue and Van Halen break down moments when it drops right down to a steady kick drum, A low end bass guitar and palm muted guitar riff while you get to listen to the band party and talk about making out with someone... ANYONE!

They have recently been picked up by Island/Universal I hope this doesnt mean thier albums will start to suck. There are videos on thier site. and you can stream all the songs off the new album.

Bottom line... BUY THIS ALBUM! Get a case of beer. and crank this album. at the lake. Or in your car with the coppers chasing you.

Damone - Out Here All Night
