Ok, I will be honest, I discovered Bang Camaro the exact same way all of you did, when I failed "Push, Push, Lady Lightning" on guitar hero because I did not know it had three endings. Well after playing that song a hundred times and having it stuck in my head for months, I was very excited to be able to find a Bang Camaro CD.
First off….
Bang Camaro does NOT HAVE A LEAD SINGER.
They are made up of a drummer, a bass player, three guitars, and choir of over ten vocalists. Every line on this CD is group sung.
Bang Camaro describe their music as "everything we love about the genre", meaning that every line is a chorus and every lick is a solo. The result of this ends up being like a eating a cake made only out of icing, sure it seems like a dream come true and when you start out you love every second of it, but by the time you are done you are sick of it and you still feel unfulfilled.
With this said, it is still a pretty fun album that will find its way into my CD player many times. It is great in small doses, and it would make the best back ground music for a summer day. However, repeated listening is almost impossible.
Some of the good songs, besides the ones on the video games (Push, Push, Lady Lighting, and Pleasure Pleasure), are: "The Ballad"(yes, the named the ballad, "The Ballad") "Out on the Streets" and "Swallow the Razors"
If you want a fun CD filled with catchy hooks and plenty of screaming guitars, this album is perfect for you, I just do not see it making its way to anybodies Album of the Year list.
ROCK ON!!!!
