Review by Ses
Bantam Rooster's latest album, Big Mess, is a raucous and energetic collection of songs that showcase the band's raw and gritty sound. From the opening track, "Big Mess," to the closing number, "Let Me Out," the album is a non-stop barrage of fuzzy guitars, pounding drums, and snarling vocals.
The band's influences are evident throughout the album, with nods to garage rock, punk, and blues. However, Bantam Rooster manages to put their own spin on these genres, creating a sound that is distinctly their own. The standout tracks include "Shake It Loose," "Hound Dog Blues," and "Gonna Get Mine."
One of the strengths of the album is the production, which is gritty and raw, giving the songs a live feel. The guitars are fuzzy and distorted, while the drums are pounding and relentless. The vocals are delivered with a sense of urgency, adding to the overall energy of the album.
