Me and the Rest – Ikarus 2008

When you think of Switzerland in musical terms, so first come to mind bands like Krokus and Gotthard. After that then maybe killer and China, but it is already difficult, at least in the hard rock area. Many other bands from the country Schoki sounding more “like” and thus is already the biggest criticism of Swiss federal reveals musical creativity. Enter another territory as Me and the rest (crazy name, but please). Degree Liniger hard rock with pounding drums and a places to Schwarzie Lawless (Blackie Lawless) reminiscent voice make the bulk of the songs.

Powerful forward to push the sound and it can ensure that the songs from the monotony of today’s songwriting single out. Well, of course, promises not automatically equal a good production and equally good songs. But the guys around singer Juerg Theiler, guitarist Tom Joerg, bassist precious Murchie and groove machine Daniel “Birdy” Voegeli notes are that it gives the band since the early 90s, because the songs have the greatest possible extent that certain something that they made the Gros stands out. Except for one of the 14 songs are original compositions exclusively and only “Is not No Love” was originally written by Whitesnake. Degree Liniger hard rock with echoes of bands like WASP Victory or in some places is perhaps the best comparison. Most of the songs are moving in the mid-tempo and it is likely to be for the Group Kopfschüttel almost too trivial, but the groove-loving music lover will have his fun with the songs. With “Coming Home” is the obligatory ballad has crept in, but that is boring and should be skipped entirely. The accelerator then again we came through strongly, and only when Whitesnake Cover (had it really be?), Which reaches the rest of the original in any way and simply lacks the blues, it gets quiet again. At best, the guys are just if you have a crash and rocks.
