4.0 out of 5 stars Rock 'n Roll!, July 15, 2002

By	Andrew R. Patton "fan of many genres" (Columbus, OH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I picked up "Lend you a hand" at an indie rock festival recently, where the snooty indie rock guy behind the counter sorta laughed when I asked about the Tight Bros and compared them to AC/DC as if being compared to such a band is BAD, especially in these days where noisy, whiny nonsense passes for the next big thing.
The sound is reminiscent of AC/DC gone punk, I would say MC5 but I don't think the Tight Bros' sound is nearly sharp or focused enough to merit such an assessment. There's some great rock tunes on here (I especially like Bless Me, with the old-school breakdown and gradual crescendo that reminds me of "Shout"), and they definitely do justice to Joe Tex on the cover of "Show Me." The vocals are a little much at times, but the energy and sound presented here make up for most imperfections. ROCK!

4.0 out of 5 stars it's a long way to the top, March 7, 2002

By	tsileetse (europe) - See all my reviews

Bon Scott would be very happy to see his legacy handed over to this bunchy 'rreeeeowrrr' rockers, Tight bro's from way back when'. Mix mc5, acdc with some speed and you got the right ticket to super rock! Add a cover song by the Animals and you've got yourself one helluva record. I love it, from the cute drawings urging you to clap your hands to the amateur harmonica's...great. They even give props to Dale Crover

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, November 24, 2003

By	I. Coburn "torndownunit" (Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I don't understand where some of the reviews below are coming from. These guys are aren't meant to sound tight or precise. They are a total Rock n' Roll free for all. This CD has so much energy to it that it almost melts your speakers. And don't believe the hype"? These guys should get MORE hype. They are under-rated if anything. If you like ACDC or Rose Tattoo mixed with a little Punk, you will love this CD. Both Tight Bros CD's rock harder than anything out that there that is part of the new rock n' roll trend.
