Having perfected the hard rock template by the late '70s with their trademark fusion of bluesy rhythm, crunchy riff and shoutalong chorus, AC/DC have been victim to 30 years of bare face rip-offs. Rarely, however, has a band sounded so gleefully exuberant in recycling old tricks as Broken Teeth do on this latest barnstorming release. Leading from the front, vocalist Jason McMaster, a bona fide monster of rock himself, has that rare duality of veteran expertise and the vitality of a man half his age. Boasting a band and set of songs to match his energy he delivers nothing but fist-pumping, gear-grinding rock. Best enjoyed in a fast car speeding into the sunset. More: www.brokenteeth.com.
