NASTY REPUTATION – After All It’s Rock ‘n’ Roll (2022)
Norway’s hard rockers NASTY REPUTATION have been around the block since back in 2007. But more than anyone, this lovechild of classic sleaze and ’80s Sunset Strip has suffered from a severe case of the disease known as «frequent line-up changes». Despite the constant uphill struggle, in the last three years the head of nastiness himself, Mr Nasty Anderson, has managed to put together several demos and even some occasional gigs in venues and festivals all over the country.
Now with a stable line-up, NASTY REPUTATION are releasing today their debut album “After All It’s Rock ‘n’ Roll“, a 10-track collection of tunes with a hard hitting, growling essence of early ’80s metal in the alleys of WASP and Mötley Crüe, the sleaze factor of Crashdiet and Shotgun Messiah, all combined with the straight forwardness and melodic sense of bands such as Backyard Babies or Jettblack.
Songs arond the 3-minute mark which makes justice to the album’s title; “After All It’s Rock ‘n’ Roll” – not music that anyone hasn’t done it before; it’s just that somewhere along the way this magical thing went out of fashion… well, let’s put it this way; Nasty Reputation don’t do fashion, they play rock ‘n’ roll!..
