Editorial Reviews

Two girls from Norway's Arctic Circle. Two guys from sunny California... Influences from the laid-back northern reaches of Scandinavia and the frantic West Coast of America collide on the Guards of Metropolis' debut EP in a shimmering example of the best that both countries have to offer. A fistful of angst-driven rock and roll riffs tempered by the layered harmonies that Scandinavian groups are famous for lay the groundwork for this rock-pop manifesto. Think ABBA meets AC/DC...and then think again. Each song comes as a stylistic surprise, and singer Kristin Blix's lyrics filter the American experience through a foreigner's eyes; the title track "Whatever It Is" is a hard hitting slam against the U.S. Commander in Chief's reckless behavior while "Exhole" name checks such American "icons" as Jerry Springer and Molly Hatchet. Rage never sounded as pretty as it does on this stunning debut!
