Fatal Jamz
\nCoverboy
\n<\/i>(Lollipop Records)
\n3.5\/5<\/p>\n

Even if Fatal Jamz\u2019 lead singer Marion Belle and his previous outfit Bowery Beasts are all completely new to you (like they were to me), you\u2019ll swear you\u2019ve heard their catchy glam-pop hooks and \u201980s keyboards before. However, this is Fatal Jamz\u2019 first full-length, having only released two EPs earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Lyrically, the 10 tracks revolve around love and fame, and they\u2019re played with a sincerity that suggests the band doesn\u2019t take themselves too seriously but still worked hard recording this over no less than three years. Indeed, the craft on this album demonstrates a level that only comes with years of putting your heart into your work and not giving up on a dream.<\/p>\n

The influences that come through in Coverboy<\/i>\u2014Bowie, The Cure, Thin Lizzy, and M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce, oddly enough\u2014are recognizable but not derivative. This is love with tongue in cheek. It\u2019s easy to cruise to, and I\u2019d like to hear more in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
