Chrome is the seventh studio album for The Screaming Jets and their first album in eight years, which was made to commemorates 25-plus years together as a band.
This album is memorable in a different way than what we expect from these men - you probably won’t have these lyrics stuck in your head in the early hours of the morning when you are stumbling home from the bar, but you will whip out your best air guitaring skills when you hear these hard rock guitar riffs.
Songs like Automatic Cowboy, the first single off the album, oozes a classic 80’s rock sound rather than the more pub rock vibe that we once knew.
Sex and Violence, track six - you would not find a song with this title by any modern day group that is for sure, but as the title hints the track is headbang worthy- taking you back to the days of eyeliner and big 80’s hair.
Throughout the album darker and heavier tones are present, which personally I think is a success from the boys, with a more similiar sound to what they first started out doing.
It’s catchy, it’s rocky - it is a twist on the classic Oz rock we know and love from the boys, taking us on a trip back to the 80’s but with a new-age vibe.
