Four Flamingos – Mad Evil Woman 7″

Debut recording for a Swedish four-piece. The A side rocks along on the back of a guitar riff that’s more jagged than the wreckage of a four-car-pile-up on a German autobahn. Lead vocalist Manne Olander has a fine set of lungs when working hard in the upper register and the twin-guitar outbursts are up to matching him.The short “No Rules” works similar hi-energy territory to devastating effect, dropping its payload and moving off before the smoke has a chance to clear. Instrumentally, it sounds a little like like early Hitmen. “Since I Met You” eases the pace back a couple of notches and shows a band with shade as well as white light heat in its armoury. Nice closer.
