The Jokers are a Liverpool based,4 piece rock band
that was started in 2006, The Big Rock and Roll
Show, is there Debut release, with songs that have
been played on the radio.
The Big Rock & Roll Show, was recorded in guitarist
Paul Hurst’s living room, while it was mixed
twice, one didn't sound right, but it was brought
to life by AC/DCs Black Ice mix engineer Mike Fraser.
The album opener, V I B E, fades in like its
being played to a live audience, sadly it does
work, and its a bit cheesy, with the 'crowd' singing
V I B E, it doesnt work, luckily 'Star Raver'
pulls it back, with its late 60s, early 70s sound,
'Shake' is a stand out track that sounds like
it was stolen from Led Zeppelin back in the day,
while in there groove, with a great solid repetitive
riff and steady rhythm, with great vocals loaded
with sex appeal.The sound of this album is a bit
like Led Zeppelin but less experimental, its good
an tight and really grooves at times, but it lacks
that killer memorable riff, the vocals are good
but seem to be a bit one dimensional, with little
range, but the band has a good retro sound going
for them that is a good ode to days gone by, and
im sure that the killer riffs will come in time,
also alot of the songs seem to have the same structure
and seem very repetitive, or seem to be inspired
by the same song almost, but not bad for a debut
effort but defiantly needs more variation in the
sound of the songs.
The Big Rock & Roll Show is out on the 29th
of June.
3/5
