Another step back in time release, or what I like to call a 'time warp album'. Almost bringing back more late 1980's memories of bands like Faster Pussycat, Motley Crue, Cinderella and Nasty Idols.

Loud N Nasty hail from Sweden's west coast and for a 3 piece have quite a big sound. 'Teaser Teaser' is their second proper album, after various demos, and their independent debut album caught the attention of Perris Records.

11 of most perfect rock radio songs you could find in 1998, though you may wonder in 2004 what audience there is for this type of music? Obviously there must be for labels to sign and put money into bands like this. The lyrics of course are straight from the streets and more to the point, the gutter. With song titles like 'If You Wanna Rock', 'Play Dirty' and Kick'N'Fight', there's not much surprise to find out that most of the lyrical content is throwaway. Put them aside and focus on the music, the vocals could be from any of the more famous 80's trash/glam/party metal bands that you care to name, in particular reminiscent of Skid Row’s Sebastian Bach. The guitars are full, that big Def Leppard style drum sound and choruses a plenty.

There is nothing wrong with anything on offer here, the music is your basic 4/4 heavy intro/riffs, verse, catchy chorus formula, all well played, without being too brilliant.
