To Die For review in Rock n' Roll Universe.
Here you are, in a world that is ruled by Rock & Roll. AC/DC, Aerosmith, Guns & Roses, Zeppelin, Free, & the Rolling Stones are all being blasted out of every window of every home & then suddenly you are awake… “Strong & Lean, one Bad machine, you know what I mean. This is a Rock n Roll Dream”. Sex & Patriotism is a Kick-ass band from Lansing, MI that came on the scene in 2004.
The quote I used earlier are lyrics from the song “Rock n Roll Dream” off of Sex & Patriotism’s debut album ‘To Die For’ & this CD is “to die for” as from start to finish you are sure to get your ass kicked. The songs are heavily influenced by the aforementioned bands listed & are twisted into their own anthems that will have you throwing your fist in the air.
The CD kicks off with a rocker in the same vein as AC/DC meets Free called “Tearing it Up”. The tune is destined to be a classic with screaming guitars, catchy lyrics, a steady back beat, & powerful vocals by vocalist ChriSteele. “One With the Dogs” features a funky riff blended with a heavy rhythm to create a groove that will keep you moving to the beat. “Eyes Do Lie” & “Crazy World” are two well written songs that are stand out tracks with great hooks. “Brother Beware” & “Dear, Jani” revisits a sound that Guns & Roses brought us with their ‘Appetite for Destruction’ album in 1986 but Sex & Patriotism brings that style & sound up to date with these two tracks. “Fit to be Tied” is a classic cowbell rocker which has a cool rhythm & vibe throughout the song. “Can’t Let Her Be” has a rhythm that would sound right at home on the Cult’s ‘Electric’ album & has a riff that sounds like Rush’s “In the Mood” combined with AC/DC. My favorite track off the album is “Rock n Roll Dream” which is everything a true rock anthem should be. “Here with Me” is the perfect choice for the closing track on the album after “Rock n Roll Dream” leaves you in the dust
It is bands like Sex & Patriotism that keep the world rocking & while their sound may revisit all the classic bands we’ve been fans of since the late 60’s through the 80’s, Sex & Patriotism add their own style to create a fresh sound.

Customer Reviews & Ratings
Customer Rating: 5.0 5
"When I first listened to this CD 'To Die For' I thought well they're pretty good, but on subsequent listening sessions I found the hooks just so catchy and later realized I was singing along with the words. ChriSteele has penned some great 'old school' rock songs that hearken back to a days of Bob Seger, Aerosmith, Kiss and the like without sounding too 'retro', this is very much up to date rock. I've put this CD on my iPod and it is in heavy rotation within my collection, its great music to workout at the gym with."
