CRUZH – Tropical Thunder [Deluxe Edition +1] (2022) *HQ*
Swedes CRUZH just released a ‘Deluxe Edition‘ of their latest album, 2021’s ‘Tropical Thunder‘ including a bonus track and available in Hi-Res audio. The new LP features new vocalist, Alex Waghorn, first introduced to Cruzh fans in 2019 with the release of an acoustic version of the song “Aim For The Head”.
Melodic rock fans will not be disappointed with CRUZH’s second album, full of a cavalcade of melodies, hooks, and catchy songs on display. Cruzh was put together after the demise of Swedish glam rockers TrashQueen, in which both Anton Joensson and Dennis Butabi Borg played. They shared a love for melodic rock and AOR and joined forces with Tony Andersson, who previously worked as a studio musician on the never released TrashQueen record.
This is simple to review; if you like your ’80s AOR flavored music served in a simple, melodic, ear-candy way, “Tropical Thunder” is for you.
