Chris Rolling Squad is a trio around French guitar player and vocalist Chris Rolling. On this ep, he presents four self written songs and a psychobilly cover ('Janes Says Gogogo') from Swedish band Indian Red. Influenced by blues, power rock and punk rock, this trio takes us right back to the seventies, a very good era for the world of music, that's for sure. The whole sounds as if Rory Gallagher and Jimi Hendrix jam with Free and Motorhead.
'Help Me' and 'Vampire Blues' are full-on blues rockers, complete with elaborate guitar solos and a Chris' rough, raspy voice, which suits perfectly with the music. 'Whore' is a pretty heavy rocker, just like 'My Redemption'. For some reason Lenny Kravitz comes to mind on the opening track but you might just ignore that. If you're in for a few minutes of good ol fashioned blues rock, you have to get your hands on this ep, it's as simply as that.
