THE UNBAND
Retarder (TVT)

Reviewed by John Sekerka



Seventies riff rock may elicit winces in most circles, but those with a weak spot for grandiose arena style tunage will surely get down on their jean ripped knees in unanimous salute to The Unband. There may be more to this outfit than blatant thievery, but who cares when they crank the wank like Van Halen used to? Covering Billy Squire oughta be proof enough, though why they didn't butcher his "Rock Me" anthem is beyond me.
