We have a great review here from The Netherlands in Strutterzine music magazine!
Here is an advance copy of the review going up in the respected Dutch music mag Strutterzine in December. Thanks Gabor! THE PICASSOS 'THE PICASSOS' (RENEGADE SOUNDS/CANADA IMPORT) The Canadian label RENEGADE SOUNDS brought us a lot of wonderful AOR/Melodic Rock releases in the past, and now a new album has been released. The band is called THE PICASSOS and their same titled debut is a great Melodic Rockalbum with some very catchy tunes! It's actually a mini-album from this Ca...nadian band, which is a duo compromised of singer/guitarist/keyboardplayer/programmer CAM VAN AS and ROB BEGG (guitars/bass), and I'm not sure if this is a real new band, because their sound is dangerously close to the classic late 1970s/early 80s Canadian AOR/Melodic Poprocksound of PRISM, HARLEQUIN and such. The 2 musicians met each other in 1987 and must have written the material on this album back then, because all 6 tracks are catchy hookladen AOR/Melodic Rock orientated, with superb vocals, lovely melodies, soaring guitarsolos and all that made this such an enjoyable sound 35-40 years ago. I felt in love with the songs I'll take maybe, I'm not in love and Living in the past. Songs that sound like the early 1980s when AOR/Melodic Rock and Powerpop were ruling the airwaves in the USA and Canada! Highly recommended if you like that classic sound!
