Believe it or not, but Jussipussi really is a type of Finnish bread, and not a cat in a bowl of gravy or whatever you were thinking when you saw this bandname. Jussipussi is also an Italian rock band with a decent sense of humor, and bread. Since we're already talking about the band, we'll just skip the intro and go right ahead with the review of this dirty little debut of these dirty little stoner rockers. After all, I want to get this over with, play the album again and annoy my wife with my silly air guitar moves...
Jussipussi was formed in 2013 and proved to be very productive. In only seven rehearsals they layed the foundations for this debut album. That tempo is only possible when you have rock 'n' roll flowing through your veins and these guys clearly have it. This album rocks! Highly energetic rock songs in the vein of Queens Of The Stone Age, Stone Temple Pilots and Mastodon blast through my speakers at high velocity. Somehow, Jussipussi does everything right, from the powerful riffs, over the awesome drums to the perfect use of vocals.
My favourite tracks are the opener 'The Bliss Of A Black Dawn' and 'Vultures', which are uptempo rock songs that often remind me of Warrior Soul. 'Explant' shows the punkrock side of Jussipussi, while 'Surrounded By Cowards' and 'Warning Signs' are solid modern rock songs. 'Bury You Deep' is a heavy blues song with a hint of psychedelic rock. These combinations of rock styles from the late sixties until now make the album very interesting and highly entertaining.
So, rockers of every age, check out these highly talented Italians, preferably live. This is rock 'n' roll with a tremendous party capacity, perfectly capable of setting every venue on fire. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to turn up the volume and annoy my wife with my silly airguitar moves, like I promised in the first paragraph...
