After two stellar singles on HoZac and Florida’s Dying and a 12-inch EP on FDH, HoZac steps up and spreads some sleaze on the summer with the debut full-length from Chicago’s street-glam rockers - Mickey! The world may not be ready for the sweat-stained concoction Mickey has served up on this platter - whiffs of glam, punk, glitter, and straight-up pop music permeated with the scent of leather, roses, PBR & sex oil. It’s not all fistfights and raunch from these guys, there’s a sweeter side to songs like ‘Baby We’re Gold’ and ‘For You’ that contrast with finger-snapping rockers like ‘Dance’ and ‘Scream With Me’ all of which ride a delicate line between sincere and trite lyrical and musical sentiments. We hear elements of ‘Killers’-era Alice Cooper, T.Rex, Gary Glitter, The Sweet, and Berlin Brats - all that sweet/sour R’n’R that pre-dates the recklessness and danger of punk, but still retains some of the showmanship and debauchery of Glam rock! These guys are tearing up the Chicago scene - rocking clubs hard and leaving a trail of blown speakers and broken mics in their wake - as with the whole of HoZac releases, this comes RECOMMENDED!
