  • The Hot Sprockets: Honeyskippin’ Review

    HotSprockets HoneySkippinListening to The Hot Sprockets, it’s hard to make out where they are from, which in a universal world is great and what you’d want. Instead of sounding like they are from South Dublin, these guys sound like the are from the Deep South of the U.S.A. Over the past few years, avid connoisseurs of the Dublin scene will have no doubt seen the band, as they honed and perfected their sound. The culmination of that work is their debut record ‘Honeyskippin”.

    Starting off is the current single Cruisin’, uptempo with a memorable ‘ooh ooh’ refrain and is a great introduction to the album. Recorded in Spain and produced by Boz Boorer, The Hot Sprockets have managed to capture a timeless sound, not entirely crystal clear with a nice vocal effect giving an old microphone feel.

    The album is a definite how to in dirty country rock, that’s not saying it formulaic, it’s saying, The Hot Sprockets have taken classic structures, updated and given them the Sprocket treatment. What they’ve ended up with is a damn fine contemporary dirty rock album. (more…)
