Gemini Five

Review by ALL ACCESS MAG.

Those Swedish rock and roll bad boys Gemini Five are back with their latest slab of in your face high energy rock, 'Sex, Drugs Anarchy'. This high powered rock and roll juggernaut is powered by, Tin Star on vocals and guitar, Hot Rod on bass, Slim Pete on drums, and new member guitarist Dee Dee.

This is the band's third release and let me tell you, it's their best! Not knocking the band's previous outings, which were both rockers, but this one is a friggin' monster! I love how the boys draw you in with, "Thunder & Lightening" an atmospheric intro with acoustic guitar and electric guitar feedback with the crowd cheers fading in before the go for the throat chugging riffs of, "I Am Hollow" starts fires thing up.

'Sex, Drugs Anarchy' has that Motley Crue vibe around their 'Shout At The Devil' era, with the Metal riffs and shouting chorus lines. This leads us to the deep bass lines, and dark lyrics of, "Scream 4 Me" that sounds like Motley in the verses and Def Leppard in the chorus with a sprinkling of Hardcore Superstar thrown in for a little attitude! While tracks like, "Here's Looking at you Kid", "Lay Your Money Down" and the title track just adds more fuel to the fire and shows that Gemini Five can rock out with the best of them.

A sound so rock and so right, it'll blow you away. How they manage to keep this amazing standard up throughout is beyond me.

Gemini Five is such a breath of fresh air from all that boring indie and depressing nu-metal that's around. 'Sex, Drugs Anarchy' is probably best heard at phenomenal volume in an enormous stadium with a dazzling array of pyrotechnics to accompany, but failing that, just crank up your stereo and annoy hell out of the neighbors with what is undoubtedly one of the best rock releases of 2008.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

"Sex Drugs Anarchy" hasn't left my CD player for some time now. Even though the joyful music that GEMINI FIVE play is something that I sometimes listen to while drinking an ice cold beer, I never thought that such album would end up in my hands. The Swedish rockers/metallers are back with a vengeance since their new album has the fucking heaviest sound GEMINI FIVE ever had in one of their albums! The band releases its third full-length album assault aiming to blow some fucking heads with their dirty Rock & Roll.

After having the chance to listen to the latest HARDCORE SUPERSTAR album, which I admit I have loved, I now get the chance to review GEMINI FIVE's "Sex Drugs Anarchy", an album full of passion, sleazy motherfucking music and a (heavy as fuck) guitar...
The good thing with this album is that it sounds more like the band is partying than a studio recording. Tin's vocals are fucking amazing, the riffing is amazing and the rhythm section is exactly what it has to be, solid as a rock and hot as hell! Don't have any second thoughts about buying this album! If you are into this whole Glam/Sleaze scene and you love bands like HARDCORE SUPERSTAR, BACKYARD BABIES and CRASHDÏET then you have found the new member of you album collection.
