Young Gods of British rock, November 25, 2005
This review is from: Young Gods (Audio CD)
The Little Angels were a prominent rock band in England in the late 80's and early to mid 90's. In their too short career they acheived a vast amount of success due to explosive live shows, excellent song writing and a dedicated fan base.
The American version of Young Gods is slightly different than the british one. Sacrificing Love is a gun and Smoke in my eyes for Radical your lover and She's a little angel, both from their previous album.
Success in America eluded them unfortunately and they called it a day before the world got to know them. A shame.

Little Angels was a UK band that delivered melodic rock with plenty of swagger. While their style was similar to Thunder, and to some extent the (London) Quireboys, Little Angels seemed to draw inspiration from the Southern rock sound. They also had a healthy appreciation for classic rock like the Doors, Janis Joplin, etc.
1991's Young Gods was the band's second album. It's packed full of barroom rockers that are guaranteed to get you on your feet. I love the heavy use of a horn section to add some punch to these already fun songs. Young Gods has great melodies, great guitar work, bluesy vocals and just a good bunch of fun rock n' roll songs.
Little Angels should appeal to anyone who likes their rock n' roll loud and fun, and Young Gods definitely has that covered. Morose, intellectual alt-rockers need not apply.
Edition Notes: The Japanese import version of Young Gods includes three additional tracks - "Take It Off," "Revival" and "Jump the Gun." It also features different cover artwork.

Little Angels is an average AOR band that sounds like others & came out too late for its genre. I feel they lacked good songwriting & used filler songs. Although, I love the guitar solo in "Juvenile Offender". They just blended in with the many others trying to make it.
