I can boldly and proudly say that London has got its own Buckcherry from now on, or at least its own Endeverafter.

I'm a Londoner; one of those millions living like there's no tomorrow in a town that's overcrowded, impatient, frenetic, cynical and sometimes even brutal – unless you are a rich, posh, hilly bloke that lives in a comfy mansion between Hampstead and Regent's Park. Paradoxically, it seems like more of the western metropolises have the same social "symbology" and create monsters and heroes in the same proportions. This town often reminds me of Los Angeles, a place where I've already been, and I can't find it strange that a band like this can inherently get the same characteristics of any street Rock 'n' Roll band from LA, both music and attitude-wise.

That said, these sons of the big city "deviance" deliver some very convincing Sleaziness; like they were thrown out of the sidewalks of the Sunset Boulevard. But at the same time, they definitely can tell you a story or two about what it's like to live in "Babylondon". I can hear that demanding urgency ('Move') you can only experience here in this town or the rebellious and obstinate spirit of its loosest streets at night ('Holding Me Back', 'Sweaty'), and even the arousal that its adorable multicolour female population can radiate, as properly described by 'Lady Of The Night'.

There's also some room for the gloom it can make you stumble on sometimes and 'Indifferent', together with 'Easy', surely depicts that mood. Yet, the spirit is always crying for leaving, somebody used to say, and the mini-tour this band had in California surely marked their dreams of glory. That's why the rushing cowbells and devoted lyrics of 'Take Me Down' are an outspoken tribute to the City Of Angels.

You know what? I can boldly and proudly say that London has got its own Buckcherry from now on, or at least its own Endeverafter. Furthermore, if you consider Josh Todd a sex symbol, wait and see Giovanni Spano, a bulkier and more virile counterpart who'll surely enlarge the following and music charm of the band.
