Barbarian Twins / Press

“Stupendous band from Oslo, Norway who have elements of many artists that include David Bowie, T-Rex, Elvis Costello and Enuff Znuff and are really melodic and tuneful rock n rollers indeed. Okay it's only an 8 track album with the 1st one, the title track 'House Of Ill Fame' being more of an intro thana proper song with the album properly kicking in with the very singalong chorused 'Can't Hide Your Love' before going into other territories in the rest of the CD. Other highlights include the slowly with plenty of oo-oo harmonies that is 'Running From the Cold' that reminds me of that Attractions frontman in sound and style; the bouncy light-hearted poppiness with awesome rolling drums that is 'Getaway' that has some skilled Allman Brothers like guitar-work too with retro keyboard strings too. Or what aboout the closing ballad that is ironically called 'Final Destination' that has Macca elements to it at times. Excellent and to the point release. 10/10 By Glenn Milligan”
