Rhino Bucket – S/T (Release Year – 1990)
It seems that every few years another new band releases a disc full of AC/DC inspired rock.
The debut release by Rhino Bucket is one of the better ones.
Singer Georg Dolivo sounds just like a Bon Scott clone. Greg Fields has the Angus Young style of playing down pat on this record.
One Night Stand is one of the biggest hits by Rhino Bucket, and this tune is worth the price of admission by itself. This is album exemplifies what a hard rock record should be. You wont find any sappy ballads on this record. It rocks all the way through from beginning to end.
The band lineup has changed but Rhino Bucket is still rocking hard in 2008. Sadly, the record that spawned one of their band’s biggest hits is out of print. You can still find copies of this disc online on EBay and Amazon.com. Hopefully, another record label will reissue this excellent slab of hard rock. Don’t miss out on one of 1990’s better hard rock records.

NOT an AC/DC clone…..NOT NOT NOT
Just a rockin good band that got an unfortunate tag a long time ago..
I don’t understand the ACDC rip-off comment things at all. OK, if you like ACDC you will like Dirty Looks/Airbourne/Rhino Bucket/Broken Teeth and even KIX, but they still have their own sound. It’s an influence for sure, but its NOT ACDC – these bands are good in their own right
I agree with you Mark. I still enjoy this one a lot.
I saw the band play live last year, and they still have every bit of the energy that you hear on this CD.
However, if you like Bon Scott era AC/DC then you will like this and I certainly enjoyed this one. By 1990 AC/DC were long removed from this sound because they had become really dull and not much fun. That’s not to say that every AC/DC copy band is good. Bands like Dirty Looks and Jackyl are just okay for me because they didn’t add anything. Rhino Bucket brought a great deal of energy and they just go straight at it on thsi album.
AC/DC was always one too many AC/DCs for me. There are some things that have some AC/DC influence that I like despite that (like the Cult’s Electric even though I think it’s their worst record in the 80s), but the bands that just rip off AC/DC have no interest for me. It’s bad enough to be unoriginal, but it’s worse to steal from a band that isn’t very good to start with.
