There’s absolutely no doubt that Cardiff’s own James And The Cold Gun have been the UK band to watch over the last 18 months. A slew of singles and a never-ending touring schedule, as well as support slots with Pearl Jam (whose guitarist Stone Gossard has also signed them to his label Loosegroove) and an upcoming slot with rock royalty Guns N’ Roses, has made every rock fan stand up and take notice. Now we finally have a self-titled debut album to feast upon.
In the live arena, there are few that can match the intensity that they bring to the stage and I’m happy to report they’ve managed to bottle this energy and pour it all over the 11 tracks of rampant noughties, guitar-driven rock like a whiskey fuelled fistfight between The Hives and Queens Of The Stone Age. This is the start of something very special: a massive album in every sense of the word.
