Bang Tango – From the Hip (Release Year – 2006)

Bang Tango - From The HipBang Tango returned with another solid rocking disc in 2006 with From The Hip.

The opening track It’s All Ok, is better than Ok. It is an upbeat jamming rocker that will get your blood pumping. This track sets the stage high for the rest of the up and coming tracks .

Ain’t Nothin’ Better sounds like a cross between AC/DC and Guns ‘N’ Roses, and keeps the pace going nicely. Go, Go, Go is another killer track that has more of that AC/DC feel to it.

Carry Me Up is a slower song that almost seems out of place after the punch and delivery of the first three tracks. Mother Mary on the other hand, has a pretty cool bass groove, and is a catchy song to boot.

Get Use To It fails to deliver and feels like filler to me. I’m the One is a punchy track oozing with sleaze and ventures into Faster Pussycat territory.

Simple is sonically pleasing and vocally revolting all at the same time. One More Spin reminds me of old school Bang Tango. It has a crunching bass lick that is infectious as hell.

Angel Devil finishes this disc with an acoustic number that sounds out of place here.

From the Hip rarely sounds like older Bang Tango material and may repel some fans of the band’s earlier work. Joe LestĂ©’s voice is one you will either love or hate. Many times throughout this disc, his voice sounds raspier than ever. On some songs it works, others it does not. The music on most of the tracks are top notch, and makes this worthy of a listen. While this disc may not be essential to your collection, I enjoyed it, and I am sure those of you with an open mind will too!

You can hear some of the new tracks at Bang Tango’s Myspace page.

    LeSte doesn’t have the range he once had and there is none of the funk parts they used to have. It’s an alright album overall.
