Straight Frank – Straight Frank 2012

2012, Great things come out of Sweden, not just ABBA and this album is one of them. Founded by ex-Prime Sth drummer Kasper Lindgren and featuring the vocal talents of Tobias Gustavsson, Coma (guitar), Henrik Edenhed (Bass) und Kasper Lindgren (Drums), all of them experienced and very successful songwriters and producers in Sweden. They already shared stages with ALICE COOPER or DEEP PURPLE and proved to be one of the hottest Swedish rock bands these days. Opener ‘Monster’ is just that, a monster of a song complete with a hook to die for. Singer and guitar player Tobias Gustavsson mentioned 70’s and 80’s hard rock and grunge as their inspiration source.

If you mix up AC/DC, Danko Jones, Audioslave, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Whitesnake, Kiss and Twisted Sister you get a great STRAIGHT FRANK album which is highly recommended! The whole album is an abject lesson in how to write and perform rock music without massively overproducing it. This album sticks to the basics and is all the better for it.
