Artist: ROSE TATTOO
Album: PAIN (CD)

Year: 2002
Media type: CD

AC/DC wasn't the only great Australian hard-rock band to come out of the '70s; Rose Tattoo's blues-based heavier-than-thou sound made them legends down under, even if they never broke out in America like their aforementioned countrymen. PAIN finds the band hitting it harder than ever 25 years into their career. Singer Angry Anderson and slide-guitar demon Peter Wells still front the band as they pound through blistering tunes teeming with full-throttle vocals and explosive guitar licks. Imagine AC/DC if they dropped the schoolboy humor and got really ticked off, and you'll have a fair idea about the sound of PAIN.

First studio album in 17 years for Aussie hard rock act. 16 tracks, highlights include 'Black Magic', 'House Of Pain', 'Satan's Eyes' & 'Illustrated Man'. Steamhammer Records. 2002.
