laughatthefakesMove over Budgie, Laugh At The Fakes are here to take over your perch.....

 

If you like your rock in a NWOBHM style, then look no further because this is a great little package to fill the void whilst you're waiting for that new Tygers Of Pan Tang album.
   
The great thing about the NWOBHM is that it is so simple, those that now try and pay homage naturally throw in some thrash leanings or add a bit of doom to proceedings but these guys really have nailed down the premise of what the true leanings of that great movement are.

 

'One Night Only' showcases six tracks that are worthy of your time.

 

'Again And Again' chugs its way into it with some heavy riffing whilst a nice solo twiddies over the top before the Budgie comparisons kick in. This is a great reminder of how great that time in metal was; it's just simply a good metal tune. 'Better Than You' is a stop-start-stop-start track that you can really get into despite its juddery nature. 'Two Years Too Long' is a great melodic stab of metal that only helps their cause. 'Little Angel' again has a more melodic edge and less of the heavy guitars which produces a more late eighties style than the bludgeoning sound of the early days.

 

All in all, this is a good little album too add to your collection alongside your Savage and Praying Mantis LPs.

 

Old Skool proper from Toronto, Canada.
