Description:
If you can imagine Avril Lavigne fronting Mötley Crüe, you have a sense of where Damone is heading--and for listeners who favor melodic, high-revving power-pop, this is a fun, rocking journey worth taking. A youthful quartet out of Boston fronted by its lone female member, 20-year-old singer/guitarist Noelle, Damone burns through the dozen tracks on Out Here All Night (the group's second recording; its first with Mike Woods as guitarist and chief songwriter) at a manic pace. The band's compact songs (all but one clock in under four minutes) bristle with pounding, noisy energy, yet the melodies shine through the wall-of-racket
If you can imagine Avril Lavigne fronting Mötley Crüe, you have a sense of where Damone is heading--and for listeners who favor melodic, high-revving power-pop, this is a fun, rocking journey worth taking. A youthful quartet out of Boston fronted by its lone female member, 20-year-old singer/guitarist Noelle, Damone burns through the dozen tracks on Out Here All Night (the group's second recording; its first with Mike Woods as guitarist and chief songwriter) at a manic pace. The band's compact songs (all but one clock in under four minutes) bristle with pounding, noisy energy, yet the melodies shine through the wall-of-racket production with a delectable, beguiling charm. Influences are far-ranging: AC/DC, the Go-Go's, the Ramones, the Runaways, Andrew W.K., Poison--even some soaring guitar salvos that bring to mind Queen's Brian May and Boston's Tom Scholz. (Sample, for instance, "Out of My Way.") The tone is forceful, but the mood is party-minded, not menacing. And while you'll find no revelations in the songs' lyrics, Noelle demonstrates a terrific vocal range that allows her to coo as effectively as she hollers (e.g., "You're the One"). Catchy stuff. --Terry Wood
