In the days before the Internet when you had to
use a pen and paper to connect with bands, there was this band that always had a
good reputation by the name of Persia. Unfortunately, I was never able to
get ahold of any of their material but they always had a buzz whenever someone
mentioned their name. Larry
Atello and R. A. Heiss who were members of Persia hooked up with members of Top
Secret and Playmate to form Atello in 1998.
Welcome To The Wrecking Ball is Atello's second CD release and contains 12
tracks. If you
miss the days of good time party metal in the
vein of EZO, Lillian Axe, Motley Crue, etc. Atello will certainly not disappoint
you. Atello's lead vocals are of the sleazy rock variety and contrast well
with the guitar playing of Paul Danni who serves up the kind of solos that are
severely lacking in most newer bands.
"Dirty Mind" reminds me of "In And Out Of Love" by Heavy Pettin'. The
songs on the CD are firmly rooted in the 80's melodic metal vein with sing along
choruses and good time lyrics. With song titles such as "Too Bad To Be
Good" and the extremely sultry "The Money Shot", you know that the general vibe
of the album revolves around sex, and that is definitely a good thing.
Atello is not a retro band trying to milk the cash cow dry. They write
nasty songs like it was 1987 and are convincing in doing so.
