Red Star Rebels - Too Young To Care

buy music
The Darkness seem to have fallen from a temporary state of grace, and disappointing reunions from a few older bands like Motley Crue have left a void in the vintage rock world that needs to be filled before fans start to hyperventilate. The question is: who is out there in 2006 to fly the flag for the great old spirit of rock 'n' roll excess and hedonism? Fear not; Red Star Rebels are here to fill that gap and take the crown for the UK's most promising rock act.

The five young Brits have been praised by none other than eighties rock icons Tommy Lee and Tracii Guns of Brides Of Destruction. Their debut EP is four tracks of the kind of fast rock and cheesy ballads that eighties hair metal enthusiasts will rejoice in. Too Young To Care is mean-stuff-filled dirty riffs and an aura that smells of sex and booze. Nobody can argue it's not fun.

With fellow UK rock outfits like Roadstar creating some early buzz, who can argue that UK rock is dead? 2006 will be a good year for Red Star Rebels.
