M.O.B. - White Trash Stomp



Scandanavian outfit M.O.B. has put out a series of charming straight ahead hard rock records with a slice of eccentricity and a minor nod to modern rock tendencies. Their latest, White Trash Stomp, continues this trend. Fredrik Notling, is a charismatic yet passionate, playful yet serious enough vocalist worth listening to on his own merits. The music is engaging and hooky, especially on "Alone But Not Lonely", a mid tempo number with the guitar doing a tight, sensual tango with the bass on the floor of a straight ahead beat. A sunshiny piece, "Going Forward", is a hopeful track laced with the broad positive lyrics you'd expect. Basically, the kind of song that applies to anyone looking for a pinch of optimism to put them over the edge. Still, social commentary wrestles for attention via "Documentary Mayhem" and "Damned Nation." Somehow, by the grace of God, they actually make a chorus with the words "Documentary Mayhem" sound rather cool. Mixing wise, the album could use a bigger sounding lower end and more separation. Some of the material deserves a fuller sound, but as an indie act, it still communicates competent enough. In the end, the band successfully battles attitude with fun in a way that would have made them listenable 15 years ago and will 15 years from now. --Brian Coles 4/5

This CD has all the elements of classic rock/heavy metal. Catchy tunes with excellent driving beats and a singer who reminds me of Bon Scott at times,make this CD a must for all real rock/metal fans.
