In true "in your face" style this CD opens with a kick in
the teeth to the current administration. This band has never sat quietly in the
background. The CD, a combination of the raw power of the debut CD "ASTRAL
KITCHEN (AK Records 1991)", and the Savvy follow up a full twelve years
later, "Dirty Things" (AK Records 2003) is a reminder that Rock N Roll
will not be quietly dismissed and tossed into a old school pile of tricks that
your parents listened to. While this Bands roots can be traced back to Bands
Like the "Beatles", they never settle on one sound or genre. From the
driving "UFO" sounding "Breakthrough" to the Ethereal sound
of "Vigil prayer", This band takes it from right to left, and top to
bottom, leaving you to try to figure out what genre they adhere to. Never being
able to pigeon hole the sound leaves the listener always wondering where they
are going next on this journey through sound. Perhaps the name of the band
"ASTRAL KITCHEN" is fitting for a band that seems to never have their
sound too firmly planted in one place or another. To call this Band a eclectic
one, is by far a understatement, and must be heard to be appreciated.
