American rockers BITERS surprised a couple years ago with their debut CD delivering solid classic rock tunes in a retro fashion. Now they are back with album number two “The Future Ain’t What It Used To Be” to be released tomorrow, where they have really tapped into their love of ’70s classic (hard) rock music. Aided by songwriter / producer...
After a well received indie album and increasing their fan base with solid gigs, Atlanta rockers BITERS have made quite an impact since signing with Earache / Warner Records and “Electric Blood” (to be released tomorrow August 7) is their first release with the major label.
They’ve boldly claimed to be bringing authenticity back to Rock ‘n Roll, but can the album really live up to such claims? Is it actually any good?
Well actually… yes.
With a title like “Electric Blood” and an accompanying cover artwork that tips the hat to Metallica’s Ride The Lightning, one would expect this collection of modern day rock hits to be quite an impressive breakthrough, and they would be right.
Biters have created an image for themselves that perfectly matches their sound, and this is ultimately defined in the album’s leading single and first track “Restless Hearts”, a positive, punchy and catchy rock n’ roll number that throws it’s weight around as a benchmark for Biters’ sound.
