Editorial Reviews

The Swedish four-piece had the balls to marry two styles that grew up hating each other. We're talking about traditional metal and sleaze rock. The former hard & aggressive, the latter catchy & melodic. The style is now affectionately known as Street Rock.

is it just me or does Hardcore Superstar sound like Motley Crue? the lead vocalist sounds like Vince Neil of Motley Crue. as a matter of fact, Hardcore Superstar sounds like Motley Crue on steroids. you would have to wonder if they turn their drummer upside down. track no. 1 "This Worm's For Ennio" is a nice touch and the title track ends with a sound of broken glass, as if it were auditioning for Stone Cold Steve Austin's entrance theme. this band sounds so much like Motley Crue that it would sound at home singing any of their songs. I wonder if Vince could get his hands on a copy of this album and listen to it and wonder if this is a tribute band. this is some uplifting stuff.

I just picked up Beg for It, the latest release by Hardcore Superstar, and all I can say is "wow." This was the first album I've heard from the Swedish sleaze rock band (their albums aren't that affordable or easy to find), but I can guarantee it won't be my last.

As soon as the instrumental "This Worm's for Ennio" (a tribute to spaghetti western composer Ennio Morricone) ends and the title track kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride with Beg for It. No one does this kind of ultra-melodic, super catchy sleaze rock like the Swedes, and Hardcore Superstar does it better than most. The guitar hooks on Beg for It are just insane, sounding like they're coming straight from a Ratt album, and the solos are totally Slash-inspired. The vocals also rock like that everlovin' hurricane, with sneering odes to living fast, partying hard and little else, and choruses you absolutely have to shout along with. This is a total party rock album, and one that's impossible to listen to sitting down.

I'd love to give this album to every Coldplay and/or Nickelback-listening thirtysomething to remind them what rock n' roll is supposed to feel like. If you still blast albums by Motley Crue, Guns n' Roses and Skid Row on a regular basis, this album will reaffirm your faith in modern rock. If you're already down with current high octane bands like Dirty Penny, Airbourne, and Endeverafter, you'll definitely want to check out Hardcore Superstar. They may just be the best of the bunch - and that's saying something.

Beg For It is the seventh album released by Swedish rockers Hardcore Superstar. The album is just about melodic-rock perfection, and one can only imagine what would transpire if these guys recieved radio and video airplay in the U.S.A.

Beg For It marks another slight tweak to Hardcore Superstar's sound. The band's first two records remind alot of early Motley Crue, their next two albums stray into what may be labeled as 70's styled glam-rock, with their self-titled record and Dreamin' In A Casket, they made a hard u-turn back to guitar driven melodic-rock music. Beg For It finds Hardcore Superstar taking the next step in the evolution of melodic-rock, the songs are all solid and catchy, and they don't feed us any filler during the whole album. The album highlights are hard to point out, mainly due to the fact that every song is amazing. However, i'll give you my album favorites, Take Em' All Out is my personal favorite, it sounds extremely close to GNR' during their early heyday. Remove My Brain, Into Debauchery, Nervous Breakdown, Beg For It, and Don't Care About Your Bad Behaviour are also outstanding tracks that make Beg For It a five-star melodic-rock album.

I hate to admit this, but I have only recently become a Hardcore Superstar fan. I had no idea there were bands that still made amazing melodic-rock music like these guys. I'm almost ashamed, considering how much I love this type of music, but hey, i'm on the winning team now and can't wait for Hardcore Superstar's next release!!
