Ok, this demo was recorded way back in 2006. I hope the band has progressed a bit since then. Well, I should start by saying I'm quite picky when it comes to sleaze/glam bands. They have to be something extra to get my attention. Great riffs, fat sound, great singer and interesting songs. I'm afraid Stockholm based Sleaze/glamsters Cut Lips missed the mark on most parts. The sound is pretty good, but the singer sounds like a watered down Vince Neil meets Axl Rose, meaning too much squealing for me.

The songs are decent for the genre, but they sound just like a million other bands in the same genre. No personality whatsoever. They have a few cool riffs here and there, like in "Bad Disease" but they are few and far between. In "Shakedown" the singer gets downright annoying with his high pitch squeaks. Not my type of singer at all, I'm afraid. To be honest, this is not the type or sound, songs or band that gets my mojo working at all.
