Info:
Los Angeles-based cult rockers Dame Fortune have returned with their third album, ‘The Secret Art’.
The band, made up of guitarist and vocalist David Blake, bassist and vocalist Jeff Wire, guitarist and vocalist Mike James and drummer and vocalist John Merritt, have taken their unique brand of “classic hard rock with a modern gothic edge” to a new level. If you miss the days when Zep and Aerosmith were gods, and find big hooks, sneering rock and roll attitude and slamming power chords practically orgasmic, then you will love this album!
Despite song titles such as ‘A Special Place’ suggesting this may be an emotional album, there is not a trace of a ballad on ‘The Secret Art’: this is dirty, sleazy, good old-fashioned rock n’ roll - any emotional aspects are well disguised by heavy guitars and a thundering rhythm section! Standout tracks are the impossibly catchy ‘Perpetual Emotion Machine’, sleazy ‘Santa Ana Blues’ and arena rock anthem ‘Hikikomori (Live As Though The Day Were Here)’. Special mention should also be made of the outstanding vocal performance on ‘Secret Rulers’.
