The opening track, ’No Friend Of Mine’, features former The Scream / Motley Crue vocalist John Corabi and, unsurprisingly, sound remarkably like Union, a band that both Kulick and Corabi were in together once their Kiss and Crue adventures were over. It’s a powerful, mid tempo stomper that stays heavy and melodic, with a fabulous hook. A real gem. ‘And I Know’ is a bit of an anti-climax after that, as things go all poppy, but thing are more than redeemed when the funky ‘Between The Lines’ arrives. It sees Steve Lukather popping in to play guitar, and veers back and forth between funk and fusion to fabulous effect. A guitarists treat, it’s well worth hearing and bodes well for the forthcoming CD. http://www.kulick.net DINOSAUR JR - Over It After their surprise reunion, it’s even more surprising that Dinosaur Jr have decided to carry on. Fans of the band will be delighted to learn that this tune sounds like virtually every other Dinosaur Jr single ever. It’s still fairly shambolic lo-fi indie punk, the kind of thing that seemed groundbreaking twenty years ago, assuming you’d never heard a record before. I suppose it takes a certain kind of skill to play in bands for such a long time without any noticeable improvement in ability, so kudos for that. After all, playing the same song over and over never did AC/DC any harm. The album “Farm” will doubtless keep their long term fans very happy, but if they can’t wait that long, then the single also comes with a live version of ‘Tarpit’ for their added listening pleasure.
