Notes
As soon as I found out who was the special guest for Bon Jovi's concert in London on the night I would have attended, I wanted to learn more about this "new device". This band is composed by five London musicians who, despite their young age, draw liberally on the great hard'n'heavy bands of the past (i.e. Motley Crue, Guns N 'Roses and Skid Row), adding a touch of modernity that makes it more enjoyable to listen to nowadays (in the same vein of bands such as Hinder or Burn Halo).
"Takin' Over", released in 2009, is their debut album and consists of twelve granitic and melodic tracks, led by the 80s oriented riff and especially by the clean and broad vocals of singer Daniel Leigh, excellent both on studio and live as I have witnessed.
The beautiful power ballad "In The Fading Light" and "Moth To The Flame" alternates with faster 80s hair metal styled tracks like "On Fire" and "Seven Nights, Seven Bodies".
New Device are passed at their first attempt, but I think there is still room to improve, maybe trying to make their sound even more younger to be competitive in this genre.
