Dizmas boldly threatens the world of music with their debut release. Hailing from the “deserts of Southern California,” the band rocks with a energetic blend of sunset strip rock n’ roll circa 1985 and radio friendly melodic rock. The band is certainly not shy about writing anthem songs, but they manage to write them without ever being whiny, holier than thou, or so angry that they are blinded by it. It’s been awhile since I have heard a rock anthem without any of those elements and it feels good in my ears. “Revolution” and “Controversy,” start the album off with maniacal screamy rock and roll, while “Let This One Stay” and “So Long My Friends” hold the fort down in the melodic mid-tempo “radio will love it” department. All in all, this is a rock and roll cocktail that will appeal to rock fans across the board.
