If you’re into heavy Swedish sleaze rockers
such as Hardcore Superstar, Crazy Lixx and Crashdïet, you simply have to check
out the new SweDane unit: White Trash Presidents and I’m sure they will be
added to your list. This band’s 8-track debut will hit you like a ton of
bricks! With their roots in bands like Starats and Crazy Lixx these four guys
takes the best from their previous bands and mix it into something that kicks
their background firmly in the ass! “White Trash Presidents” and “One Fuse
Left” will hit you like a ton of bricks! The band features former Starrats
singer Magnus MP Möller and guitarist Dennis Post, flanked by former Crazy Lixx
bassist Loke Rivano and drummer Brion Wekin. “Smack Me Around” is a bit mellower,
closer to Enuff Z’nuff, which is ok by me. “Pushin’ Daisies” gets the power
machine back in action with its heavy and grinding riffing. Every album needs a
ballad, right? Well, I don’t think they do, but when they do they better bring
me something that hits me. Well, this one contains two. “Cryin’” starts out
pretty cool, but hell does break loose and it becomes a pretty bluesy powerful
thing in the end. Nice soloing indeed by Mr Post! “Lovesong” finishes the album
and this one is a pretty epic piano ballad with a pretty cool arrangement. I
really like this one, indeed! “Lovers & Haters” and “Psycho Dad” also offer
the, by now obligatory, punch in the face! The production and sound reminds me
quite a bit of Hardcore Superstar, but to be honest White Trash Presidents hit
me harder. This is really good stuff!
