SHOWDOWN (Germany) – Showdown [2021 release +1]
Formed four years ago, SHOWDOWN are a five piece outfit from Germany, previously known a Torpedo but as there was a band with a similar name, they changed SHOWDOWN. The group released their self-titled album produced, recorded and mixed by themselves, with a second batch including an extra track.
All musicians in SHOWDOWN are in their twenties, and while none born in the Eighties, they play music like if it is 1984. “Showdown” rocks with fiery riffs akin the first KEEL, BLACK ‘N BLUE, early DOKKEN, TWISTED SISTER, etc.
This is US hard rock with a vintage feel in the way the songs are arranged, as well as the gang choruses – not so layered as in the second half of the 80s but more ‘heavy’, street-type…
