Comprised of 5 tracks, their new EP About Time immediately entrenches itself in some of rock’s greatest — MÖTLEY CRÜE, AEROSMITH, GUNS ‘N ROSES, VAN HALEN and KISS all come to mind — and as the result of six years of rehearsals, shows and new members, there’s definitely nothing new about THE WICKED JACKALS. Where the decision to kick the whole thing off with a bass melody should have you salivating for the guitar drop, instead Alex Gifford’s chance to shine on opener Ain’t Gonna Change is marred by poor production quality, slowly fizzling to life and failing to lift off leaving just hint of moisture on the tongue.
