Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Welsh rockers Sal make a powerful second album after a striking debut a few years ago. Vocalist Cat (no surname given) is a strong presence throughout.
Swallowed Pride for Hollow Promises charges along nicely and has a typically strong lead vocal. Noog on guitar acquits himself well throughout.
Devil May Care is a Bond theme for Sebastian Faulks’ book of that name. It won a contest to get that honor. It’s not as orchestral and grand as other Bond themes, but it has suspense and thrills aplenty. Cat’s vocals are good as ever.
California is a nicely charged song with a strong melody and chorus. The guitars are razor sharp.
The closing A Love Song for Alcoholics is fast paced and has plenty of sass. Cat’s vocals are just on the money.
It’s a good rock album in all.
