BIG MOUTHERS – Wishes (2018)
BIG MOUTHERS was formed in May 2014 as a cover band in Barcelona, Spain. In a few months they managed to establish themselves as the most popular and requested cover band in the country, averaging 200 shows a year. But it was time to splash to the world their own penned songs, and that’s happening today May 10 with the release of Big Mouther’s debut album “Wishes“.
And believe me, this is one of the best Melodic Rock debuts of the year.
Big Mouthers become known for their ’80s classic songs covers, but also for specialized tribute shows to Bon Jovi and Bryan Adams. So I guess you know what to expect from “Wishes”.
At places, Big Mouthers reminds me of Guru, another excellent band from Barcelona, a city where melodic rock and classic rock has a strong following crowd.
But while Guru strongly sounds like Mr. Big, in the case of Big Mouthers’ the spectrum of influences is wider.
After the initial bites of opener, title track ‘Wishes’ the first thing that impresses is the clean, polished production. Then the ’80s keyboards and the pumping bass lines, and while the verses are modern, the chorus is to die for. Think H.E.A.T meets Vega. WOW… just WOW…
