The latest release from garage rock band the Eruptors marks an evolution in sound, but still retains their foundations from the first CD.
Seduce & Destroy has a strong 60's feel drawing influences most notably from the Rolling Stones. We can still hear punk in the background on some tracks which suggests the band hasn't forgotten their roots or has any desire to do so.
The album is mellower than the first, but not to the point where we lose the hard rock/garage rock edge to the music.
As commented in the review of 'Bad Time To Be Having a Good Time' the music reminds me of a Nevada garage band. The previous disc took the listener on a journey through space accompanied by a soundtrack of hard rock. However, in this instance we are very much rooted on planet earth on the West Coast of America.
What comes to mind when I listen to the disc is the Californian coastline, vans packed with surfers and people driving with car tops down playing track 4 & 10 (Cannibal Holocaust & Cannibal Reprise).
This certainly is music to drive to on a coast line such as California or even embarking upon a road trip through the Mojave desert. Play those tracks & listen and you will get the idea here what's on offer with the Eruptors. Skaters, surfers, and stoners should find something appealing with the Eruptors.
The Eruptors do offer something for all generations which we can observe with the track '1000%' that has an old school vibe.
Over all 'Seduce and Destroy' is a solid hard rock disc containing 60's influences with modern hard rock elements that avoid sounding too polished or produced.
If you ever get the opportunity to travel to the West Coast of America then take 'Seduce & Destroy' with you and drive along the coast playing the Eruptors. Road movie rock that maintains its gritty garage rock roots.
We have several more features regarding the Eruptors which include an exclusive interview, another album review & a possible feature article. So lookout for those soon!
