BOHEMIAN LIFESTYLE – Madame Libertanah (2015)

*

Hailing from Stockholm, BOHEMIAN LIFESTYLE has released some singles and an EP in the last two years, and now “Madame Libertanah” is their first full length album.
Listening to this album by Bohemian Lifestyle is like getting a good grade on a test you didn’t study for, or finding a four-leaf clover. The music isn’t incredibly intense nor is it innovative, but what it lacks in innovation it more than makes us for in jump-up-and-down fun.

“Madame Libertanah” is 100% melodious hard rock energy throughout with contrasts in tempo and heaviness. These are tightly crafted songs with more hooks than a fisherman’s tackle box.
Their songs are contagious, traditionally structured and predictable in a way that is wholeheartedly gratifying. A combination of ’90s loud melodic guitars, ’80s energy and a bit of ’70s glam.

Songs like “Libertánah” and “A Brighter Day” are really good old-fashioned power-pop gems with a rocking sound. Then “Fool’s Mask”, is a more powerful and rhythmic track. The band’s frontman, Pontus Klas Viberg, has a very charismatic and characteristic voice, very clean and precise.
“Woodlands” and “Coming Back Around” are high-quality melodic hard rock tracks, then the harder “Superman” is guaranteed to satisfy you riff cravings.
The songs on “Madame Libertanah” have a certain staying power that you won’t find with most artists in this genre. This is one of those recordings I feel crosses all boundaries in the world of rock music.

Like other hard rocking European bands that have came before them, Bohemian Lifestyle know the power of a good riff, and this album is chock block full of enough to keep air guitarists around the world throwing the windmill shape until their arms are ready to fall out of their sockets.
Additionally, the guys provide hooky melodies and catchy choruses to keep your body moving.
“Madame Libertanah” is unapologetically radio-friendly melodic rock and a hell of a lot of fun. It’s vibe is so contagious, it practically yanks you out of your seat and commands you to move.
Very Recommended.
