FLAMING SIDEBURNS - Sky Pilots 2LP

Never played. Double album, still in shrinkwrap.

Influenced by the 60s and 70s, Scandinavian style. Think The Hellacopters. Hell, it's on the same label responsible for Turbonegro.

The Flaming Sideburns' previous album 'Save Rock and Roll' lends its title to the first song on 'Sky Pilots'. The former is a party hound's idle boast soaked in winking irony, the latter a true believer's desperate request.

In our books, that's progress in the right direction. Plus the geetarist has started to figure out melody. If they ever start boasting again this shit could get interesting. Until then, 'Sky Pilots' shows the Sideburns not just backing out of the garage, but backing out at 60 miles per hour.
