Wig Wam – Non Stop Rock N Roll (Frontiers)

10 / 10
Where Steel Panther choose to parody hair metal these guys fly the flag with meaning and this magnificent record deserves its place at the forefront of the genre’s vibrant revival. Every song is soaked in killer riffs, cool-as-fuck choruses and enough spandex to squeeze the life out of your most experienced rocker.

Referencing Europe, Leppard, the Crue and Van Halen before three quarters of Non Stop Rock N Roll is out is some achievement and yet the Wigs manage it with ease. C’Mon Everybody’s Dr Feelgood-esque rhythm is a winner and Eddie Van Halen would be proud of the licks which kncok All You Wanted into shape.

We’ve always dismissed these Scando pop metal masters as a crazy gimmick due to their silly name and even sillier stunts. But this is brilliant stuff and an absolute must for any fan of late 80s rock excess.
