“I just can’t fu**in’ wait to get out there and play these songs to people!”. So says Richie Edwards, Stone Gods’ singer/guitarist. And people, if you have any sense in your ears at all, when they play near you, GO AND LISTEN!!
Stone Gods were born out of Justin Hawkins’ departure from The Darkness. Apparently the band were left in a messy place but, thankfully for anyone with an interest in good (rock) music, the remaining members decided to keep writing, keep singing, keep playing. And what a good job they did.
Silver Spoons and Broken Bones opens with the heavy guitar of Track 1, "Burn the Witch". I’m not going to lie, for a moment I wondered if I was going to make it through the first track, let alone the entire album but, embarrassingly, in the middle of an open office with my earphones firmly in my ears, I found myself nodding, tapping, and finally air-drumming to this incredible listener-friendly rock tune.
Don’t Drink the Water was one of my absolute favourite tracks. It’s full of energy, brilliantly executed pop-rock and another Guitar Hero karaoke-style singalong, but with much more credibility. I think it’s partly this sheer quality that makes Stone Gods’ music so accessible. Technically, it’s incredibly good rock music, but rock novices like me can appreciate the brilliance of it in a purely “air guitar” fashion!
Magdalene Street has a guitar-laden, melodic start that captured me immediately. Lazy Bones is another awesome favourite of mine, with the thoughtful, deep, memorable chorus “Come on lets make it better” – the ingredients anthems are made of.
I enjoyed the whole album, every individual song. I couldn’t single out my favourite or my least favourite, and I could imagine the sound of Stone Gods’ music being enjoyed in the car, on the train or in your bedroom. In fact, this is the sort of album that will make you shred some wild air guitar moves in your pants! In private, of course.
