The Hellacopters

Like a night out in a dingy bar, The Hellacopters' loud, in-your-face, Scandinavian rock 'n' roll will hit you in the same way that downing a bottle of whiskey in a single sitting would. With guitars screaming out amped-up chords taken straight from the loudest rock of the 1970s, they mix a classic Hard Rock sound with the desperation and energy of Detroit rock. Every note burns with crushing passion, and the singer's booming vocals will make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. The rhythm section, however, won't be so kind, as drums and bass work their way around each other, increasing their thunderous power. Every beat is like getting struck by lightning and hit by a bus at the same time. If you've been looking for rock to satisfy your soul, witness the Hellacopters: long hair, reflective cop sunglasses, jean jackets and mesh baseball hats.
