Hey Bulldog have been seducing down the door of late, with their New Order-ish power ballad ‘No Future Part 2’, the highway song ‘California’ and the quick draw six shooter ‘Al Lupo’. This trio of songs have seen the band not so much lighten the tone, but sharpen the scalpel and aim to cut rather than pummel.
Their new single ‘Death & Greed’ however, returns to their take-no-prisoners brand of Attack-Dog rock, cementing their place as Manchester’s loudest, but nimblest war machine. Bear witness to a grenade caught in the moment of detonation.
Like stone striking stone; ‘Death & Greed’ is a grinding, crushing, unstoppable force. These three men whip up a terror storm and kick against the mother fuckin’ pricks. Rob’s vocals return to the higher pitch of former days as his guitar slices acid-dipped katana blades. Drums are aggro powered. A bass solo is a bee the size of a steam train.
It’s partner in crime is ‘If They Could See Us Now’. This is stabler, patterned on surging rhythmic lines before a punchy, winning chorus. This song is a fighter jet on steroids and a pilot on coke.
Bigger, faster, louder and more potent than all the other bands out there, ‘Death & Greed’ is another unmissable release from the Manchester saviours of rock n roll.
