4BITTEN – “Rewind and erase”
Rewind and erase
Greece doesn’t stop surprising us – 4BITTEN is an ass-kicking heavy rock band from Athens who’s singer deserves German description ‘Rockröhre’ (meaning a really rocking singer with a voice in direction of Janis Joplin).
Whiskey in the jar.
These guys (and girl) rock! The four piece 4BITTEN from capital of Greece rock like hell. Benefiting a lot from singer Fofi Roussos who has a voice like she never drinks anything else than whiskey, the band created a really listenable album called “Rewind and erase”.
The opener ‘Die in vain’ is a granade you won’t get out of you head for days. Bass and guitar are tuned a little lower it seems what puts extra groove into the music. Listen to ‘Save my soul’ (below) and you know what I mean. Following song ‘Cause I can’ is declaration of war to all those out there who want to change you – believe in yourself the song screams and while doing so, 4BITTEN rock (sorry for repeating myself – there is no word fitting better).
Good old times.
The band borrows the sound of the seventies in ‘Pull me in’ (Hammond organ!) and also adds some more heavy metal to the song. But nevertheless, every song of “Rewind and erase” would match a rock radio station. The whole album is perfect for a party – and that’s at the same time the only blind spot I can figure out: There is no ballad. 4BITTEN created a fast album with a lot of drive without resting for a minute. And I wished to hear a slow and quiet song with Fofi’s special voice.
Anyway, would be a pleasure to see 4BITTEN performe those songs live, because “Rewind and erase” is such a powerful album with best rock attitude you can get. Put this band on festival line-ups and add them to your party playlists – you won’t regret!
