Their second album, now available worldwide thru Overdrive Records. "When a band is described as "the new Gary Glitter" - by legendary pop Svengali Kim Fowley, no less - and their label proudly slap the quote on their website rather than irately demanding a retraction, you're entitled to wonder what the hell is going on. The answer: Italian quintet Giuda are the greatest '70s glam-rock band to have existed since_ the 1970s. Bedecked with more handclaps and tambourines than a Pentecostal church, their second album starts with a Mud reference ('Wild Tiger Woman'), cribs from The Sweet's 'Blockbuster' ('Teenage Rebel') and reaches a conceptual zenith with the song title 'Roller Skates Rule OK'. Their zeal for time travel would be frightening if they didn't write such stomping tunes. " Noel Gardner/NME
