Poslednjih meseci dobio sam nekoliko izdanja sastava čiji je izražajni pristup oslonjen na postulate southern rocka. Jedno od njh je i album sastava Sweetkiss Momma, možda pomalo nesrećno naslovljen “Revival Rock”.
Sweetkiss Momma dolaze iz okruga Washington i deluju u formaciji kvinteta (Jeff – vocals, guitar, harp; Waid – guitar, vocals; Aaron – lead guitar, vocals; Randy – bass; Tyson – drums). Na njihovom CD-u, “Revival Rock”, našlo se 12 numera koje su odsvirane u southern rock/blues rock stilu. Pesme su, uglavnom, srednjeg do malo bržeg srednjeg tempa, iako poneka ima “furioznije” odsvirana numera, kao i nekoliko polu-balada.
Sweetkiss Momma nisu sastav koji puko oponaša idole iz 70-tih godina, već je njihov pristup pomenutoj formi, koliko je to moguće, osavremenjen. Zvuče i sviraju prilično ubedljivo i savladali su lekciju na više nego zadovoljavajući način. “Revival Rock” sadrži materijal kojim jednako mogu biti zadovoljne pristalice tkzv. starije škole, kao i novopečeni fanovi southern rocka.
Ocena: 8,5 / 10

In last months I have received a few CD’s of groups with southern feel and southern rock approaches, and it’s a real pleasure every new discovering of relativelly still unknown acts, whose style communicate with mentioned genre.
SKM are Washington state based band, they works in quintet formation, and few month before, they have discographically debuted with “Revival Rock” album. A group has introduced themselves with 12 tracks , done in southern rock/blues rock style. Their approach is fresh, also convinceble, and even of associations of album title, their musical views are done according to standards of our time.A songs posses an equalizing qualities, most of them are done in mid to mid-up tempo, and also exists faster up songs, as same as some half-ballads as well.
Musically SKM satisfies, and their approach could be interesting equally for older and newer southern rock followers.
