\"\"<\/a>Well f$%k me swinging, if you will pardon my French, where the friggin\u2019 hell did these guys come from?\u00a0 Ok, matter of factly Hotel Diablo are from Hollywood, but hitting you smack between the eyes with a blazing red album cover, these guys have delivered one hell of a killer hard rock record from seemingly out of nowhere.\u00a0 But if you are familiar with the Los Angeles scene, then the names of Rick Stitch (Adlers Appetite), Alex Grossi (Adlers Appetite, Quiet Riot, Bang Tango, Jani Lane), Mike Duda (W.A.S.P) and Mike Dupke (W.A.S.P) will already be well familiar with you.<\/p>\n

Produced by Gilby Clarke (Guns N\u2019 Roses) this is a gritty, grimy, collection of hard rock, jam packed with razor sharp riffs and a sordid collection of lyrical tales.\u00a0 Opening track Taken <\/em>is a perfect example of Hotel Diablo\u2019s blending of raw hard rock, with elements of 90\u2019s grunge and alternative rock, the breakdown in this song sees Stitch eerily channelling Dirt era Alice In Chains\/ Layne Stayley.\u00a0 Track 3, What You Do To Me <\/em>delivers what you could term to be a \u201cballad\u201d and blimey if this isn\u2019t one of the albums best tracks, closely followed by the equally soaring Bury Me.\u00a0 <\/em>Hotel Diablo deliver mostly a rambunctious brand of raw rock, but at each songs heart there\u2019s still plenty of hooks and melody.\u00a0 The inclusion of an Oasis cover, Wonderwall <\/em>is a bit of a headscratching moment as I\u2019m sure I speak for many who would equally love to have heard another original track \u2013 but in saying that, I\u2019ve always loved this song and a souped up hard rock version straight from Los Angeles, USA rather than Manchester, UK, works well.<\/p>\n

If you have a love for the grittier and grungier side of hard rock, then don\u2019t let Hotel Diablo slip you by for there\u2019s much to be enjoyed on The Return To Psycho California<\/em>.<\/p>\n
