Rye Coalition

Some rock magazines have been making a lot of noise lately about a band called Rye Coalition. Again, they're not exactly a new band, they've been releasing albums since 1997 and have 5 records to their name previous to their most recent effort Curses. The main reason their profile has been raised recently is that a certain Mr Dave Grohl has produced this new release - and he certainly knows a thing or two about music! Grohl's influence can be heard at various points in Curses and I'd describe them as 80% Paul Stanley style Kiss and 20% Foo Fighters - not a bad mix if that's how you like your rock!

After a couple of listens I'd say they're good but not the brilliant saviours of rock some are suggesting. 7/10
