I have been watched Sorry And The Sinatras ever
since they formed back in 2007 mainly because I
have always loved Scott Sorry’s main band
The Wildhearts and was also a big fan of Roger Segal
and Lenny Thomas’s old band Trashlight Vision
so when I heard that they hooked up with Scott Sorry
and Dave Kerr and formed a new band I was quick
to check them out and really liked the demo tracks
that I heard.
It’s been a long time now since I first
listened to Sorry And The Sinatras and a lot has
happened with the band since then, there debut
album ‘Highball Roller’ is finally
here, it feels like I have been waiting an lifetime
for this album to be released but then again it
has taken the best part of two years for the album
to be completed but then you can forgive the band
as Scott Sorry has a pretty busy time trying to
juggle playing in two bands at the same time,
the band are also days away from hitting England
for their debut full length tour across the country,
granted they played a couple of one off shows
towards the later part of 2008 but this will be
the first time the band have embarked on a ten
date tour over here.
So has the album been worth the wait? You bet
it has, the album starts off with ‘Black
N Blue’ and it comes charging at you like
a pat-ball terrier on speed, the guitar riffs
are fast and furious packing an heavy rock and
roll sounds, whilst Scott Sorry’s vocals
sound very raw and gruff sounding packing in that
punk rock edge that really gives these guys an
kick arse sound.
The next track ‘Burns City Burns’
equally comes out charging at you at such a frantic
pace and before you know it the track has finished
as it’s a short and sweet track running
for less than 1minute and 30 seconds , but in
that time it sure gives your ears a battering,
in a good way of course as the guitars are once
again proper rocking and Lennys drumming is constant,
heavy and very pleasing on the ears, whilst Scott
Sorry pretty much screams his lungs out for the
duration of the song.
There are so many good moments on ‘Highball
Roller’ in fact there is not a poor song
throughout the whole album, each and every track
is so listenable ‘’Riverside’
is extremely catchy, whilst ‘Borrowed Time’
is the token slow track that is full of groove
and huge group sing-along moments, ‘Gimme
More’ is an really angry sounding shout
along affair, ‘Nose Don’t Work’
is a really catchy track that features some impressive
guitar solos whilst the closing track ‘She’s
So Vaudeville’ is a proper frantic rock
and roll track.
The main highlights on the album for me are ‘Junkie’,
mainly because the song stands out the most to
me with the way it starts with soft spoken vocals
saying “Well I’m a big fucking mess
on the bathroom floor arms are bleeding and leaning
on the door, I don’t want to be a junkie
anymore”, and then suddenly the guitars,
bass and drums kick in with an almighty force
as well as Scott Sorry’s gruff sounding
vocals, the song is the catchiest track on the
album and ends up being a big sing-along track
that you will end up listening to on repeat.
‘Highball Roller’ features 12 rock
and roll tracks and they are all of a really high
quality, seriously this is how rock and roll should
be, Sorry And The Sinatras have created the perfect
rock and roll album and all new comers should
take note as this is how things should be done,
these guys certainly deserve to go far, they have
an all star line up, a big fucking sound and the
perfect debut album so just watch this space.
5/5
