Snow - Snow

With their debut album, Brazilians Snow have thrown at us a surprise candidate for one of 2007's top albums, and who would have seen it coming, after all, when most fans think of Brazilian bands, the first one that comes to mind is Sepultura, well maybe not for much longer.

This is an album of big guitars, big songs, a big melodic hard rock sound, and you know what, it's really damn good! These boys know how to write good songs, they know how to draw influences, but they know how to start to shape their own sound.

The highlight of the album has to be the superb 'Hard Motherfucker' which typifies the bands Sunset Strip influences, and from cowbell to samples, it is just begging to be played in rock clubs the world over, with big guitar solos, with sing along choruses, with all the aspects you want in a feel good song!

'Tearin' Down The House' is about as 80's Hard Rock as you can get without being there, and it rocks like fuck, this could have been an 80's hit for Skid Row or Britny Fox, but instead it's a 21st Century triumph for Snow

It's not Motley Crue, It's not Guns N' Roses, this is feel good rock n roll for the 21st Century, and it feels awesome!
