Artist description scandal MP3 reviews reviewed by sal march 1999 now here's an experienced band that makes listening a pleasure. scandal make rock songs - good, solid, regular rock songs that.... well, they rock. in that 80's cock rock, big hair style that bands like poison and motley crew made so popular. and it's still popular in north america. rock is the big selling genre and when there are tunes like the ones written by scandal, it's easy to see the popularity thing. musically, scandal shine. they're tight, together and talented. all the songs i reviewed are commercial in nature and to be perfectly truthful, they could easily be found on any rock radio station here, the quality is excellent. even when scandal get all mushy and do a half mellow/ half heavy tune as they do in my girl they keep it from being sappy and lame. a trap far too many rock bands fall into. these guys sound like they've been doing the rock jaunt for a while. their maturity in song writing is just plain polished. the big haired rock guys have a winner! btw, i don't know if they have big hair but they sound like they do ;) MP3s reviewed: my girl, bad boys, love for sale It`s loud, its bad, it rocks! The SCANDAL-Groove reflects authetic rock-songs combined with screaming guitars,the unique voice and lyrics from frontman Carlos J.Funderburk and a sound that might insult hifi-enthusiasts. "S C A N D A L" stands for "hard-rockin' guitar music with soul". Untamed and ambitious, the band hits the audience "straight in the face". C.J. and the boys perform their music without compromise! Listen if you dare!! W A R N I N G ! The supreme court warns that excessive consumption of "SCANDAL" can lead to dependence!!SCANDAL is a bunch of strange characters (freaks) whose goal seems to be to disorder the structure of the so well organized music market. It is our duty, as civilized citizens to assure that these troublemakers be banned from the european, expecially from the "grossdeutschen" music market under all circumstances!!!! i.A. Die Musiker-Polizei!

Music Style Groove Rock;Soutern Rock or just plain ol´ Rock n´ Roll
