Crash Kelly - Penny Pills

Review by Mr Ben

A band that cites T-Rex, Kiss, Guns N’ Roses and Cheap Trick as major influences really doesn’t need much of an introduction. Crash Kelly’s debut full-length is everything that lovers of the glammed-up side of rock & roll could hope for, and arguably more than they might expect in an era when the genre is generally seen as having only novelty value. Their retro leanings are evident in the raw guitar riffs, big rock solos and Sean Kelly’s inspiring vocals, which sound like they’ve been brought up on an artistically healthy diet of cigarettes and alcohol.»
