bangcamaroii Do you like gang vocals? With the band Bang Camaro that is all you are going to get? Instead of having one lead singer, they often employ from 10 to 20 singers for every live show.  Either this band is crazy for using this concept, or they are extremely creative.

These darlings of Guitar Hero have returned with another album filled with rocking guitar tunes to get your blood pumping.

I admit that I liked Bang Camaro’s first album.  I thought the gang vocal ideal was a novel concept, if not a unique one.  I can’t think of another hard rock act that has tried anything like this.

On album # 2, I thought gang vocals were a hindrance, instead of a help to the band.  There is no doubt in my mind that this band has some decent musicians, but at this stage in the game, I think it is time for them to find one talented singer instead of the 10 – 20 they use today.   Are there good songs on Bang Camaro II?  Yes, there are a couple of them that are pretty good.  The album is full of 80’s style hair metal that will be sure to please some old school rock fans.  The music is surprisingly solid, but the vocals are a problem for me.  I just couldn’t get into the music as much because the vocals proved to be more of a distraction.  Some of the song writing is pretty weak as well.  “I Know You Like My Band” is a perfect example of a song that never should have seen the light of day.  Did a high school kid write this song?

I am sure there are some folks that will love this album, but I believe this Camaro is headed for the wrecking ball.

    Bang Camaro is overrated. I’ve seen them live and their gang vocals do nothing but confuse you. It’s a gimmick and it’s sad because this could be a really good band…minus about 15 singers.
