THE REVIEW

"UHh!!!" combines the sounds of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal from '89 with the danceable country of the late John Denver, hand in hand with the old gloomy dark rock'n'roll of Johnny Cash. The agricultural onomatopoeia of the lyrics characterizes the simple provinciality of the Cremonese group.

Following this, the Snipers, with a tough stance, continue with a thunderous "Knives" (almost tinnitus-inducing), whose arrogant shyness winks at the more suburban London bands of the late seventies, yet updates the psycho-social context of the era.

"My super best friend" breaks the now excruciating cadence of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal from '89 (and the danceable country, gloomy dark, thunderous rock'n'roll), giving a Nippo-clash tone to the demo. The four almost become fools by adding a Gregorian chant to the composition, at times blasphemous. Powerful guitars and a summer riff characterize the track.

"Puttana che cry baby!" will surely think anyone listening to the lively "Black and White (with red stripes on me)". The gaudy singing in a Motorhead style brings the melodies back to an almost pathetic adolescent plane (fan-culo Lemmy). In fact, the content of the lyrics exudes mental autoeroticism and impulsiveness with a clever and, well, finely amoral manner.

The city chaos is present in the post-nuclearity of the last track "Tonite?...alright!!!", a sad tale of a world that frenetically burns individuality and leaves no room for the real simplicity of life.

In conclusion, it is clear that the Sniper Dogs don’t waste time sniffing their own farts but focus on making love with their instruments.

P.S.: If the review is unclear to you, then you are ready to listen to the CD!
