The Montecristos is a fabulous London based rock'n'roll outfit including Neal X - Guitar and Vocals, Emma Goss - Double Bass, Gemma B - Trumpet, Sophie Freeman - Saxophone, Hugh Wilkinson - Drums
In an age when overnight internet sensations are an everyday occurrence, it’s hard to find a band that’s grown organically, the old fashioned way, by word of mouth and touring, while winning kids over one show at a time.
The band positively explodes on the opening instrumental track, “Atlantic Surf”. It’s a loud, urgent blast of guitars and horns clocking in at just over a minute and 51 seconds, setting the tone for the rest of the album.
And the rest of the album is a fantastic rollercoaster ride through the finest rock'n'roll on this side of Chris Spedding ("Born To Rock 'n' Roll", "Dirty") or Sylvain Sylvain.("Good lovin'")
The real treat on this record is a fabulous rendition of "Brand new Cadillac" with plenty of horns and featuring Marc Almond (of all people) impersonating Vince Taylor like no one else before.
