HANOI ROCKS - Bangkok Shocks, Saigon Shakes (Sealed) (LP)

Bangkok Shocks, Saigon Shakes, Hanoi Rocks" is the first studio album by Finnish rock legends Hanoi Rocks, released in 1981. Producing themselves, the band took the energy and D.I.Y. attitude of the punk movement, and fused it with a love for glam rock to create an in-your-face sonic attack. Their first release is heavy on melody and full of bravado. Lead singer Michael Monroe doesn't have the best voice in the world, but delivers the lyrics with a perpetual sneer that gives him character. The band never fails to lock into a solid groove and serve up highly melodic, high-octane rock.
