German hard rockers The New Roses released their album Attracted to Danger on October 4.
Opener When You Fall in Love immediately gives me an 80s classic rock vibe. It’s catchy and the vocals are a great raspy style which works really well. My favourite part is the drum fills throughout.
Natural Born Vagabonds is a fun track with a cool riff. It’s a more mellow track than its predecessor but the chorus of “we break rules, we break hearts but we never break apart because we’re natural born vagabonds” is definitely an arena rock anthem that will get people screaming the words back.
The titular track has another sick riff in it and is extremely catchy.
This Heart is an ultimate power break up anthem. The chorus is a proper power up talking about this heart is stronger than you know, and that it’s been broken before and won’t fall apart, empowering the listener that things will be okay because it has been before. It’s a really uplifting song and one of my stand outs. It’s also really catchy which helps massively.
Another power song is Hold Me Up which features guest vocals from Gill Montgomery (The Amorettes, The Hot Damn). Gill’s vocals are absolutely sublime on the track and fit in perfectly.
The album is full of catchy hooks, particularly highlighted in Four Wheels with “all I never needed was one two three four wheels and an open road”. It’s also full of some great classic hard rock sounds including the riffs and drum fills.
The album has a mix of heavier tunes like Bring the Thunder and more mellow and emotional tracks like Natural Born Vagabonds.
