REDLIZZARD – The Red Album (2015)

*

“The Red Album” is the full-length debut from REDLIZZARD, a Portuguese band that gained attention after winning the ‘Best Alternative / Pop Band’ and ‘Best International Band’ prizes of the Upper State Independent Awards – USA, and opening for Bon Jovi in Europe.

RedLizzard plays easy-listening melodic tunes with an uncompromising sound that oscillates between moments of Hard Rock (the muscular riffs of “It’s Not Easy”) and poppy melodious rock (“Reason to Live”).
Their style is pretty Americanized with lots of Bon Jovi references – ballad “Don’t Worry” – the quite catchy “Lover Girl” and “Hangin’ On the Hotline”.
There’s a more ’80s Californian glammy rocker in “Find Me Somethin’ Special”, but as on all the tracks on the album, with an updated production.

RedLizzard is a really interesting band with an international projection, as the songs in “The Red Album” are radio-friendly but with a melodic Eighties/Nineties feel.
It’s well arranged, performed & produced, and although musically there’s nothing new, it’s a quite enjoyable material from a band with lots of potential.
