CD REVIEW: ECONOMIC DANCERS by Band Of Spice




ECONOMIC DANCERS by Band Of Spice
(Scarlett Records)

Band of Spice (changed from Spice and the RJ Band) is the new band featuring Swiss singer, guitarist and songwriter Christian “Spice” Sjöstrand (Kayser and ex-Spiritual Beggars). Backing up Spice are group of talented musicians, River - Guitar, backing vocals (The Mushroom River Band), Peter Lundstedt - Bass, backing vocals, Johan Hultgren - Keys, backing vocals and .Bob Ruben - Drums, percussion (Kayser, The Mushroom River Band).  'Economic Dancers' is the band's sophomore outing under this moniker. So what can you expect with this latest offering? You can expect to listen to an album that loaded with good, old fashioned rock music that has that classic rock vibe. The band hits your senses from all angles once you press play. The opening title track and "True Will" are full on rockers that beg to cranked to maximum volume. Then you have "On The Run", with it's Springsteen-ish overtones. While on "Intro - The Joe" with its smooth keyboard intro that segues into the guitar driven mover, "The Joe", shows that even when the band decide to tone things down a bit, they still deliver the goods. From their on out its non stop rocking with, "You Can't Stop", "In My Blood" and balls out rocker, "Down by the Liquor Store". The hook-laden riffs and thundering percussion, and of course Spice’s whiskey soaked vocals, keep things interesting throughout. Overall, 'Economic Dancers' is a quality release in the field of 70s-oriented rock music. If you're a fan of heavy rock with plenty of melody and swagger, I highly recommend giving this recording a shot. Its just that damn good. - Highly Recommended
