Verdict (& Rating): Enjoyable classic hard rock romp (80%)
Uncle Sid started life off in 1994 in Vancouver, Canada. The band now consists of Franky Dee (vocals), Henry Seto (guitars), Scotty Vye (bass) and Dale Salive (drums).
The band play 80's style hard rock, with possible comparisons being Steelheart and Slaughter.
The first track "Frenzy" is lives up to it's name, being an uptempo rock out. It grabs your attention, setting the mood for "Out Rock The Clock". This track really 'does the business', adding a little AC/DC or Krokus to the mix. The vocals are powerful, the guitars wail and the rhythm section provides the necessary solid foundation.
When a band decide to go for a 'tried and tested' sound, they've got to do it well and Uncle Sid do a sterling job. On the basis of this couple of songs Uncle Sid are worth keeping an eye on.
