MONTE CARLOS – “Guilty of Love” EPFinally I
get a chance to really check the latest from Monte Carlos out after what seems
to be too long. On their latest 7” the
trio tears things up with a piping hot batch of stripped down garage rock
infused with a healthy dose of vintage hard rock swagger. “Guilty of Love”
bounces with a hard as nails
groove, a genetically infused bass line and a ton of hooks. “Keep It To
Yourself” is a taut, tough rocker
with just a touch of raw feedback mixed in to keep things moving forward. “Moaning
My Love” is a slow burning track
where rawness and tension build throughout.
Monte Carlos’ music has always had a feel and attitude but here they
seem to be taking it to the next logical step with more of a vintage vibe that
shines through here in all its beautiful mono glory. This isn’t the most
polished record in the
world – and that’s part of its appeal.
Just one warning: exposure to Monte Carlos could be irreversible
effects. (BOONE)
