"The Matlocks" come from the same school of rock as their countrymen "The Hellacopters" and to some extent "The Hives". Fans of "Turbengro", "Glucifer" and "The Flaming Sideburns" will also appreciate the no-nonsense rockin' approach the boys take. They walk the pop/rock tightrope pretty closely, the guitars are pretty clean at times. IF they went a big more fuzzed or crunchy they'd fall into the Sleaze/Glam genre with Hanoi Rocks, but their tightness and production keeps them more appealing to the younger kids I imagine. They DO have a bad-ass attitude though that allows the tough guys and gals to get on board.

There's 13 songs on the album, personally, they could have cut out a few of the deeper cuts that were just faster pop-oriented songs and put on another song like the more blues-based "Part Of The Plan" or "C'mon, C'mon", but that's my personal taste. Bottom line, they're a very solid band that no-doubt has a kick-ass live show. They have some blistering solos, hot piano and even some hammond organ that show these guys KNOW rock n' roll and they do it very well.
