Twelve Inches album review: "Sixpack"



Twelve Inches's latest record "Sixpack", released 2008, includes six powerful tracks of true Finnish rock with heavy guitar riffs and lyrics about 'night outs', alcohol, hangover, fun and last but not least some love.
It's good mood music and listenable at each time of the day.
Teenage Queen (first track) is a perfect start cause it's full of energie and makes curious about the rest of the disc.
Second track, "one night", is a kind of heavy- rock- love song which is somehow different from other lovesongs while "Beer" (third track) tells us about a bad hangover which Finns suppose to "kill" by drinking again-BEER for sure:).
"Hard night, hard day" is a story about a night out and the terrible day after -how life goes sometimes.
Number five in line "Sugar song" seems to be a well hidden love song while the last track "the walls are closing in" is full of things to read between the lines what makes the listener able to paint an own picture about the situation."

Gig Review: Brother Firetribe, Hamburg, Germany 2009

Brother Firetribe

Hamburg, 2th of February 2009, few minutes past eight p.m. -doors are already open and visitors slowly arrive and killing time while hanging around at bar and merch area -drinking, talking and buying shirts or CD's until it's close to nine -time to enter the hall.
It's monday evening and most people are in first- day- of- week- mood; tired!!! So it's really necessary that something happens on stage.
Everybody is looking forward to that.
Nine o'clock: Brother Firetribe arrives and they seemed to be as the daily coffein shock in the morning.
It's the most enthusiastic wake- up call and exactly what people here need right now.
The band is heading up the crowd with songs from both records (…) and a show full of power and energy.



Setl
ist:

1.Who will you run to now?
2. Runaways
3. Break Out
4. One Single Breath
5. I'm on fire
6. Heart full of fire

7. I am rock

There's true heavy metal in the air -or should I say: the air is heavy metal!
You really could feel the power, the band gives to the crowd and you can see how much these guys loves it beeing on stage and rock as hell- even if this is not so easy in a place like Hamburg, cause people here are not so easy to impress.
However you might think about these guys, one thing is for sure: Brother Firetribe don't need huge special effects for a great show.
