There's something a miss with music these days as it is hidden under a cloud of 'X Factor' wannabees who we all know do not stand a chance at having a long career playing songs that, eventually, even they don't like over time so it is still good to find that bands are riding past this and still holding up the flag for 'HARD ROCK'!

So being a fan of classic rock from Led Zeppelin to Queen and then newer stuff like Nickelback and Creed, it was a great to hear on Kerrang!, a band like Halestorm!

The first obvious factor is the singer, Lzzy Hale who has this beautiful rock voice and yet comes across between an angel and rock vixen and so the album brings you back to the 80s with an album trying not to sound too much like Whitesnake/Romeo's Daughter and yet still finding a voice for itself!

The lead single is 'I Get Off' and sets you up for the rest of the album with stomping drums and raging guitars with sexual charged lyrics that just makes you want to keep listening because Lzzy is astounding!
