Wig Wamania – Dangerdog [us]
4,5 / 5,0 - I'm late to Wig Wamania but I'm so glad I got on board now. Wig Wam offers straight ahead rock 'n' roll ala 80's glam rock and metal. They are one of the many Scandi bands reviving the melodic rock of the 80's glam rock and metal era. Their songs have sharp hooks and hot licks. Mania starts ('Rock My Ride') and ends ('Breaking All The Rules') loud and proud with great hard rocking numbers with memorable melodies and choruses. In between we're favored with smooth and catchy ballads.
They are outstanding musicians who now how to craft a song and perform it in true style. Vocalist Glam screams and preens with magic and clarity. Teeny, on guitar, knows how to rip it up: note 'Rock My Ride' and 'The Riddle,' a very cool instrumental. The rhythm crew of Sporty (drums) and Flash (bass) add power and control to every song. Moreover, these Norwegians know their roots: if 'Gonna Get You Some Day' sounds a little too close to a certain hair metal band from New Jersey, then you're probably right. They also have the 'sleaze' part right when you listen to 'Can't Get Her Out Of My Bed' and a little Crue-like number, 'Breaking All The Rules.'
Frankly, every song on 'Mania' is great. I've been hard pressed to keep it out of my player whether in the office, kitchen, or car: yes, it's that good and fun. Even my wife digs it! And that's saying a lot! Get this album; you will not regret it.
