NITE STINGER – Nite Stinger (2021)

To be released in Europe by Steelheart Records (the label of ‘The Lost UK / US Jewels’) here’s the self titled debut CD from Brazilian melodic hard rockers NITE STINGER.
Founded in 2020 by ex-Tales From The Porn bassist and guitarist Bento Mello & Bruno Marx, Nite Stinger brings back that ’80s hard rock vibe and sound inspired by bands such as Mötley Crüe, Skid Row, Poison and Ratt. And they do it with a bang!
With really good songs and first class production, “Nite Stinger” kills. All these are experienced musicians in the genre, including Ivan Busic (from veteran hard rockers Dr. Sin) who also produces, and if you are worried about a little accent in the vocals, let me tell you singer Jack Fahrer’s English language is perfect. Fahrer is part of Sioux 66 as well, a band who has played in Rock In Rio festival alongside the greatest names of classic hard rock.

While you can smell the 1987’s glammy hard rock of Ratt, Motley, Skid Row etc on songs like ‘Hell Is Getting Higher’, ‘You Want It, You Got It’, ‘Saturday Night’, ‘Crank It Up’, the guys also do some melodic rock / hard on catchy tunes such as ‘By Your Side’ and ‘Let Me In’.
Nite Stinger sounds fabulous: guitars are sharp, solos swirl with taste, Fahrer has the right raspy (but perfect clean) tone for the genre, and the rhythm section come our awesomely: clear, actually audible bass and punchy drums.

Coming out of nowhere, “Nite Stinger” is one of the surprises of the year.
Yeah, sure, this is ’80 glammy hard rock, but so well done, written, executed and produced like few playing this genre in recent time. You’ll be surprised by these guy’s quality on all aspects.
