I’m wondering… which is the band that has influenced most musicians and groups by the numbers? Most likely AC/DC is among the top 3 most influential bands of all time. I love this band so fucking much. Especially the Bon Scott era. So does this newcomer from Sweden. These guys must have practiced the AC/DC tracks for hours, played them live and had a good time in the studio and not only. AC/DC is a must for any young guy who takes up the guitar, the drums or any instrument whatsoever.
So far, so good. The thing is that when you are influenced by AC/DC there’s only one way to go and we all know what that is. You see AC/DC’s hard rock & roll style is so unique and innovative that leaves no room for anything else. Hence, like if there’s not enough AC/DC copycats out there, Dynamite pops-up. Don’t get me wrong the guys are doing OK. The singer screams like Bon, the riffs are fine (all are AC/DC copyright J), the rhythm section is solid and the story goes on. Another band who tries to take some of AC/DC’s shine & glory.
If you do not get bored along the way you may find this album nicely done… but what’s the point after a while? Is it possible to play it again? Nope! Where does this band or any AC/DC copycat go from here? Release some more albums and then what? Probably they won’t even exist after a few years… but some other AC/DC clone will pop up and… it’s a never-ending story you see!
