SHARPEEZ,THE - Wild One (Sealed) (CD)

The Sharpeez are old enough to know better but still they're misbehaving with their blend of classic rock, west coast jangle and rootsy blues influenced attitude. They have been developing and maturing, and like a carefully aged single malt whisky they are finally ready to be appreciated. With the arrival of their new album 'Wild One' (which is set to become a classic) the Sharpeez have evolved into a major force and they are second to none. The Sharpeez history is rooted in the late 70's London R&B scene when singer/songwriter Bill Mead originally made a splash with a band called 'Rebel'. 'The Wild One' invites us to immerse ourselves in a story telling aesthetic, from intricate sepia tinged album art through to Mead s colourful narratives as part of a musical sweep full of gusto & grooves. The Sharpeez - the very best of British Rhythm and Blues. A high energy, performance of original songs influenced by Rory Gallagher, Dr Feelgood, Tom Petty, The Stones, George Thorogood, Paul Kossoff, Paul Rodgers, Andy Fraser ....... Their crossover blues with a rock influence pushes the boundaries through strong songs, great hooks and some scintillating playing. The cool juxtaposition between the subtle and the frenetic and the transitions from quiet to loud, is at the core of the unique Sharpeez style that is distinctive in the generic blues/rock field.
