Artist: Broken Teeth

CD Title: Blood on the Radio

Label: Perris Records

Release Date: Out Now

Comments: The new Broken Teeth CD "Blood On The Radio” was recorded live in 2004 in Austin, Texas and features 15 tracks spanning both studio albums "Broken Teeth" & "Guilty Pleasure.” “Blood” also features a new track called “Bonfire.”

This AC/DC-during-the-“Highway to Hell”-era inspired band rocks from the first track to the last. On lead vocals is former Dangerous Toys frontman Jason McMaster, and he manages, at times, to do AC/DC better than Brian Johnson. He does this by obviously having a great time and never taking himself too seriously.

This live album is a 15-track fun ride perfect for a backyard cookout, where only Budweiser is served, or else! These wild Texans manage to play solid rhythm and lead guitar as well, with clean southern-fried solos jumping from tracks such as “Chaingang,” and “High on Danger.” The best track is “Stick it in,” which is introduced by the wild and crazy McMaster and his band’s “Church Hymn.” The drum work also is solid as these toe-tapping tracks could encourage a corpse to get up and dance. This is a band that gives a great, hard-charging live show while delivering clean ‘80s style hard rock; what’s there not to like, besides the name?

Track Listing: 1. She's Gonna Blow 2. Pull the Plug 3. Stick it in 4. Chaingang 5. Devil Money 6. Hangin' by the Skin 7. Down to the Fire 8. High on Danger 9. Shangrila 10. She dances Evil 11. Bonfire (unreleased) 12. Undertaker 13. Crashlanding Affair 14. Guilty Pleasure 15. El Diablo
