Tennessee rockers Naked Gypsy Queens release their stunning debut ep “Georgiana” on February 11th, an amazing blend of old school hard rock fused with a bluesy vibe and a modern kick that will certainly make you sit up and pay attention.
Title and opening track “Georgiana” is the proper way to open an album, packed with groovy riffs interspersed with some cool slide guitar and a wicked solo; a kicking drum and bass beat with Attigliato’s amazing vocals belying his young age, this all-round perfection. “Down With The Devil” has a real down and dirty feel to it; gritty riffs traded off between Attigliato and Pickering backed up by a thunderous drum beat, a crushing solo towards the end of the track really tops it off, these guys mean serious business. “Strawberry Blonde #24” opens with a Southern twang that builds from there with some great riffs and a thumping bass line, Attigliato’s singing is outstanding while the guitar is off the hook, a seriously catchy tune. “Wolves” for me is probably the best track on the album, a slow languid down-tuned bluesy affair with a heavy drum beat, funky riffs, an unbelievable solo that is all topped off by Attigliato’s killer voice, a stunning performance that show what these guys are capable. The closing track “If Your Name Is New York (Then Mine’s Amsterdam)” is a power ballad, heavy on acoustic guitar and soulful vocals, a nice way to finish off the ep.
There is a live version of “Georgiana” as a bonus track on the digital format
This is a cracking debut from a band that are musically more mature than their years suggest.
