Whatever their intentions, Melbourne’s Casanovas do kick an awful lot of ass (Classic Rock). For a band that has been around since 1999, Melbourne hard rockers The Casanovas have been extra busy in recent years. They followed their 2020 album, Reptilian Overlord, with an extensive European tour (which slotted in a performance on the legendary German TV rock show Rockpalast). Now with this fifth album in the can, it’s a sure bet we’re gonna see a lot more riffing rock action around town from these guys.Drummer Brett ‘Wolfie’ Wolfenden has joined long-time guitarist Tommy Boyce and bassist Damo Campbell, giving the group an even more streamlined approach. Wolfie has been just as active over the years. The Casanovas maintain the elementary, street level, riff heavy, melodic brand of hard rock that has held them in good stead. Reference points and forebears are obvious in their sound: Cheap Trick, The Cult (just check out the cover), AC\/DC, Motorhead, Legs Diamond, KISS, Ted Nugent. Everything from opener ‘The Devil in Me’ through ‘When You Want Something from Me’ and ‘Burning Up the Night’, on to ‘City Streets’, goes from full tilt rawk to mid-tempo rawk, as lean and righteous as a Melbourne Cup favourite. It’s only with the penultimate track, ‘Her Kiss’, that they bring the pace down to a sleazy slow burn; yet even then they can’t help themselves with a rave up finish. Last track ‘Kundalini Rising’ pulls out the Nugent ‘Stranglehold’ riff to maximum effect for a psych-infused epic with a spacey bridge where they get all “Krishna, Krishna, Hare, Hare Krishna” on our asses; oddball but hot and tasty supreme. Go and get it!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bad Reputation","offers":[{"title":"CD.","offer_id":50398522409291,"sku":"2170980","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Backseat_Rhythms_035afa11_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726496625"},{"product_id":"reptilian-overlord","title":"Reptilian Overlord","description":"\u003cp\u003eLast year, with a set of great new material, the re-tooled Casanovas hit the studio with iconic Oz rock producer Mark Opitz (AC\/DC, The Angels, Cold Chisel, The Divinyls) to record their fifth album. ‘Reptilian Overlord’ revels in everything that fans have come to know and love about The Casanovas, and it shows theimpact of Opitz, who was involved in many of the band’s favourite albums like Powerage and Face To Face. As Casanovas bassist Damo Campbell says, “Mark is the master at miking for great guitar tones. He definitely brought some of those techniques into our sessions... It was also pretty inspiring to be in the studio hearing some of Mark’s stories of some of the great rock bands he has worked with over his career.” Swagger is something that these guys have in spades. Although they got caught up in the early 21st-century rock mania, The Casanovas always had deeper roots and a natural ease. Hailing from the Live Rock’n’Roll Capital of the Universe – Melbourne – The Casanovas were a merging of two great local traditions –punk rock’n’roll and Oz Rock – and they had a twinkle in their eye and brought a youthful freshness to both when they appeared at the start of the century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bad Reputation","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50513245208907,"sku":"1099464","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/93dd977d-2aff-411b-aa43-8f42ed2722a5_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727922966"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_c314629c_thumbnail_4096_879f8e53-207d-4541-9a4d-b8a25909bd18.jpg?v=1726496603","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/the-casanovas.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
