\"\"<\/a>In 25 words or less: There\u2019s no Identity Crisis going on here, Tango Down,will appeal to anyone with a love of 80\u2019s influenced hard rock with a melodic twist.<\/em><\/p>\n

In the 6 or so years of their existence, New York based hard rockers Tango Down are one of those bands that I\u2019ve had awareness of, but for whatever reason I had never taken the time to properly check them out, beyond simply a few cursory listens via their website etc.\u00a0 Well that has now all changed with the release of this their now 3rd<\/sup> album, Identity Crisis<\/em>. \u00a0Once again continuing the trend of their past releases, this release features a different lead vocalist, with those duties on Identity Crisis<\/em> being handled by the mega talented David Reece of Bangalore Choir and Accept fame.<\/p>\n

Musically, there\u2019s seemingly no Identity Crisis <\/em>going on here throughout these 10 tracks, the sound of Tango Down will firmly and squarely appeal to anyone with a love of 80\u2019s influenced hard rock meets melodic rock.\u00a0 Blasting off with the ball tearing Crying To Me, <\/em>this sees Tango Down at their heaviest and gnarliest.\u00a0 The keyboards heralding the intro of Alone <\/em>adds some suspense and anticipation before the song seeps out a real Dokken meets Whitesnake vibe.\u00a0 Did someone order an old school Van Halen riff for Dream Child?\u00a0 <\/em>Well that\u2019s what you\u2019ve got on this feel good rocker.\u00a0 Blame <\/em>is one of those real melodic rockers that you immediately can pick is going to blossom into one of those uplifting, addictive choruses and it doesn\u2019t disappoint.\u00a0 Of course there are ballads on the album, you\u2019ve got the traditional \u201cpower\u201d ballad with Corners Of My Mind <\/em>and Back To Life <\/em>offers more of a slower tempo rocker, rather than a traditional ballad as such.\u00a0 There\u2019s plenty of huge backing vocals at the centre piece of the Tango Down song, with Hearts Catch Fire <\/em>and on the classic blues rock of closing track Magic Pudding, <\/em>David Reece really gets to stamp his authority as a the renowned powerhouse vocalist that he is.<\/p>\n

Tango Down and Identity Crisis <\/em>don\u2019t deliver anything that we haven\u2019t heard before in the hard rock sphere, but what they do, they do it well and there\u2019s certainly a hefty dose of enjoyment to be had from this album.<\/p>\n
