Black Bottle Riot – Black Bottle Riot
Suburban – 2011
Rock, Southern, Hard, Blues, Stoner
Rated: ****

It took these guys nearly two years to complete their album; not because they are slow, sluggish or lazy. But because they wanted to experiment and be able to scrap things when they did not work after some time. Their shows contain hard rocking grooves and half-naked cheerleaders and their music developed from more seventies and stoner rock to this… Introducing Nijmegen’s own Black Bottle Riot. On their self-titled record they give us tasty biker tunes hailing from the Deep South and inspired by bands such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Crowes and Allman Brothers. They’re a tight outfit that convinces with every note and often sound like some long lost American rockband. And where the first few tunes start off a bit wavering; it is the long haul that counts. Like a slow starting truck they hit you hard when they get to full speed and leave you on the ground like some stink infested roadkill. They have a pendant in licks, kicks and dirty guitar tricks. The BBB brings heavy dynamic southern blues that provides the perfect soundtrack for a night filled with bottles full of riot!
