Review 16: Rooster - Rooster CD




Cock-A-Doodle-Don't.

I know this is an American site, and so you may not have heard of these saps from the UK before. Hopefully you never will, but I thought I'd give you fair warning to switch over if ever you see/hear their bland, poor man's Bon Jovi attempts at rock music for 12 year old girls.

You can see the marketing men having a field day with these guys. "Hmm.. music's nice and unoffensive, could be played on radio.. lead singer looks like someone from Smallville or something, that face could be a poster on any kids wall... SOLD!"

Don't be fooled. The first single, "Come Get Some" (ugh) is a loathsome attempt at being "edgy", a dire "hey, we RAWK" abomonation that surely didn't fool anyone. And then, batten down the hatches, 'cos heeere come the ballads. It really is awful stuff. Crap name, crap songs, crap band - but no doubt heading to an MTV near YOU.

Don't say I didn't warn you.
