Desiree ~ Germany


Make it With a Smile. 1976 Lava
Tapes. 1977 Windkraft

A very American sounding hard rock album with inventive song structures, tricky meters and high pitched underground vocals. Could have easily been from Michigan, Ohio, or Indiana. For mainstream references, early Rush or Give Us a Wink era Sweet wouldn't take you too far astray. Exceptional guitar work here. Good record, though the vocals are pretty annoying after awhile. 

I have not heard the Tapes album but gather it is similar in style. I'll make an effort to do that.

Priority: 3
