Australian band Koritni was founded 2006 and Welcome To The Crossroads is their 3rd album - with the same line-up! They choose to work with the same mixer / producer as they did on their debut. That's the facts.
They kick off with Down At The Crossroads where a sleazy guitar leads you into the album. It's a heavy, but sleazy rocker and Lex Koritni's vocals remind me of someone... Ray West (Spread Eagle), at least partly. Anyway, the opener is a good choice to hook up the listener. The stomping Better Off Dead (feat. Rusty brown off Electric Mary) is spiced up with a passage which seems to be taken from radio... With Party's Over they ease off a little but it's still a powerful rocker. This time some spoken words add a different flavor. It seems someone's zapping channels... That's Now A Word From Our Sponsor's, an interlude. Guitar leads you into TV's Just A Medium, an up-tempo track with 80's like backings which features Jeff Waters (Annihilator) on guitar. The opening passage of Lost For Words, a bit more balladesque than the predecessors, hooks me up immediately. Somehow this tune make me think of Tyketto... a sleazy version of the Jerseyans. At Sometimes they also remind me of Danny Vaughn and his mates - and that's no problem for me, coz I dig Tyketto. A heavy rocker is Money Talks, It Says Goodbye and it for a moment has an AC/DC touch, but then becomes another sleazy rocker. With Hold On they present a power ballad before they close this chapter with Take It Like A Man, another 80's-like rocker.
If you like sleaze metal, 80's hard rock and a powerful voice, then check out Koritni's new album Welcome To The Crossroads!
