The Swiss band Sideburn was started in 1986 under the moniker Genocide. In 1997 they renamed and since then work under the label Sideburn. Musically they are offering AC/DC sound, but singer Roland Pierrehumbert sounds more like Bon Scott then Brian Johnson. Songs like the opener Live To Rock sound familiar and you can sing along right away. At Devil And Angel the vocals remind me a bit of Stephen Pearcy.... One Night Stand is a typical blues rock track with cliche lyrics, but nobody expect sophisticated lyrics from a band with this sound. At other songs they sound a bit like their fellow countrymen Krokus. Chase The Rainbow sticks out a bit due to the balladesque opening part, but becomes a blues rocker - with a dash of Southern rock. Songs like The Red Knight base on the AC/DC riffing, but at least Sideburn can add something to it and give the song their own identity - as much as it's possible.
Fans of the Aussie sound should check out Sideburn, personally I'm not a huge fan of this style, but I enjoyed Jail more then the Airbourne releases. If you are into the Aussie sound, then check out Sideburn!
