Go is the 3rd album of the Chicago based band THE OUTFIT. The band is formed around Andy Mitchell – Vocals, Matt Nawara – Lead Guitar, Mark Nawara – Drums and Mike Gorman – Bass, and their new album Go was mixed in Los Angeles by Grammy nominated, multi-Platinum producer and mixer Ulrich Wild (Pantera, Static-X, White Zombie, Deftones, and Breaking Benjamin). The band’s music is pure classic 80s/early 90s American Melodic Hardrock, but they sound up-to-date for sure when listening to the album opener Monster, which is a killer song with a very powerful sound. The lead vocals are spot-on, the guitarsound is heavy but melodic and the chorus is deadly catchy.
This is the way we want to hear our rock and roll! There are some memories of HAREM SCAREM circa Mood Swings, especially when you hear a song like Arrival Of Jane that also has some slight EXTREME and MR. BIG references, yet then with an own identity. The album continues with many more great melodic hardrock tunes, with as other highlights Big Eyes (big time uptempo melodic hardrock at it’s best!), the pure 90s HAREM SCAREM ish Mountain and the uptempo rockers Go and You Say.
This is a superb record and it is highly recommended if you like old school but modern sounding Melodic Hardrock. The only pity is the short playing length of this full-length CD, and the cover God Save The Queen (with a guitar riff a la POISON’s Talk Dirty To Me!) could have been replaced by an original song.
