With two album releases already under their (studded) belts and the new CD “Non Stop Rock And Roll” hitting the street in 2010 WIG WAM are gearing up to smash walls worldwide! The Norwegian glam kings are a spectacle to see live and surely will mesmerize fans with a new uprising in the rejuvenated glam genre.
They dress the part, they live the part, and they play ungodly music that will catch the wave of diehard fans that crave GLAM. The opening track, “Do Ya Wanna Taste It,” screams GLAM in the sense of masters of the past such as SWEET yet has the great harmonies of QUEEN. Vocalist Glam has great control and range but once again it’s the harmonies that set WIG WAM apart from all others. Songs like “Walls Come Down” have killer hooks and great melodies that will make you squirm plus the riveting guitar work of Teeny sets fire to the disc.
Not only can WIG WAM bring the big hair and spandex to new heights they can bring a tear to your eyes with the ballad “Man In The Moon.” One thing WIG WAM posses are great technique of changing styles. They can bring the goods with some killer guitar licks and heavy down tuning yet can lift your spirits with bone chilling AOR-anthem shredding.
Check out “All You Wanted” and tell me that it doesn’t bring back memories of those great eighties sounds like hits from the SCORPIONS and many others. Big anthem sounds that should ring dollar bills for WIG WAM if there is any justice!
Hey what’s Diamond David Lee Roth doing here on the track “Non Stop Rock And Roll”? Nah, only kidding! But it does have the flavor of Diamond Dave; fast-paced, powerful and a true killer rock tune that should be played loud. Teeny you go boy!!! Great licks…
The ballad “From Here” has a sense of FIREHOUSE with a soft sophisticated approach that will have many take notice that WIG WAM can be a force. Another platinum tune is “Rocket Through My Heart,” just a great rock tune that surely will have you singing along.
The track “Gotta Get It On” has a bit of a bluesy feel yet holds the rock vibe once you hit the chorus. So many tracks you will be reminded of past memories but WIG WAM holds the key to a new generation and takes a step forward in ROCK AND ROLL!
“Non Stop Rock And Roll” should be added to your collection. It has so many great tunes and good sing-a- long choruses. Could end up being one of the best releases of 2010…
