Jettblack is another freshman on the glam revival wagon, bringing back the naughty kicker of classic Skid Row and transplanted a nice addition of guitar-driven hard rock of Mr.Big, tightening up their debut with a neat vocal switching of Will Stapleton and Jon Dow, one of them is sounded similar to Jon Oliva from Savatage while the other one reminds me of Chad Kroeger from Nickleback. "Get Your Hands Dirty", as what they called their first release, is rooted heavily on the 80s rhythm galore while successfully maintaining the modern edge.

"Slip It On", is a firestarter, exploded big in the style of "Addicted To That Rush". "Two Hot Girls" shakes wild with Stapleton/Dow's raunchy groove, another big fave of mine. "War Between Us" and the title track are reminiscent of the glorious era of Sebastian Bach, back in his days with Skid Row. "Not Even Love" is such a great bluesy power ballad, "Mother Fucker" is probably the heaviest load of the album, the guitars are nasty, this is a monster track. Other goodies such as "When It Comes To Lovin'", "Sleep", and "Holding" are also awesome, and probably only "Innocence Is Mine" is slightly anti-climax, they shouldn't put it at the end.

A brilliant start from this promising British band, I'm expecting a high quality output in their second effort. If you like hard rock with attitude, Jettblack's debut is smokin' hot.
