NitroVille "Can't Stop What's
Comin'"
It is not often that I decide to do a review for
a band whoms music is really a lot more Rock 'N' Roll then Blues, but
every now and then I break with tradition, especially when the bands sound
really catches my ear. NitroVille is such a band and their new debut album
"Can't Stop What's Comin'" consists of some of the best Straight Ahead No
Nonsense Rock 'N' Roll that I have heard since Black Country Communion
released their debut album last
year.
NitroVille was formed in 2010 and is
the brainchild of Vocalist Tola Lamont and Guitarist Kurt Michael Boeck.
"Both shared a vision on how pure and unfiltered Rock 'n' Roll should
sound and started writing for live shows and their album Can't Stop What's
Comin', combining lyrical story-telling with solid rock
musicianship." The original band, for this recording, also
included Fussi Andersen on Bass, and Cyro Zuzi on Drums. After the
completion of "Can't Stop What's Comin'", Cyro Zuzi left the band to
pursue other goals and interests and his spot was filled
by "heavy hitting hard rock drummer, Matt
Whittington
."
"Can't Stop What's Comin'" consists
of 11 Tracks of pure unfiltered Rock "N" Roll, with the use of Vintage
Valve Amps and no fancy pedals. All the Tracks were written and produced
by Tola Lamont and Kurt Michael Boeck with the Album being produced
by Mark Waterman, renowned for also producing Ride and Smashing
Pumpkins.
"Can't Stop
What's Comin'" smashes right out of the gate, with the opening
Track "Cheating The Hangman", and just doesn't slow down or fizzle out
like many other groups that start off with a bang. Most of the songs are in
the 4+ minute range with a couple of nice long ones clocking in a little
over and under 6 minutes. Plenty of time to get a good sweat going bobbing you
head to these great tunes. Tola Lamont does all the singing on "Can't Stop
What's Comin'" and what a singer she is. With a voice perfectly suited for
the style of music they play, Tola Lamont, can not only hold her own up
against any power singer of today, but would certainly have held her own
when compared to some of the best from yesteryear, as well. Paired
perfectly with the rest of the bands powerful Guitar, Bass, and Drums back
beat, this four piece band simply crushes any want to be competition out
there, nowadays. They don't stop, their music doesn't stop, and you won't
stop rockin' to their
beat.
NitroVille is one hell of a Rock 'N' Roll
band and "Can't Stop What's Comin'" is one hell of a Debut Album. It
brings back great memories of great rock bands
past.
For Rock 'N' Roll you just can't beat
"Can't Stop What's Comin'", a 5***** production if I ever heard
one.
