GMT (Guy McCoy Torme) :: Bitter & Twisted
CD Review
By The Atomic Chaser
Once you pop in the rocking debut, 'Bitter & Twisted' from GMT (Guy McCoy Torme) its like throwing a lit match in pool of gasoline! Coming at you like a battering ram the trio unleash their rock fury with, "Cannonball", loaded with Bernie Torme's signature dive bomb whammy bar assault! Bernie Torme the Irish Guitar Legend and Frontman, known for saving the day for Ozzy Osbourne when Randy Rhodes tragically died, then with Desperado with Twisted Sister Frontman Dee Snider and Iron Maiden Drummer Clive Burr. Then you have the rhythm section of McCoy and Guy that are down right nasty! As is evident as the trio coming rocking out of your speakers with tracks like, the balls out rocking, "Rocky Road" and "Can't Beat Rock And Roll". Like the late Joe Strummer and Rancid, GMT have not only embrace Punk, but elevate it to its truest art and rawest form. Combining it around richly textured power guitar hooks and an attitude that would bring a brama bull to its knees. There is something incredibly special about this band that it trancends genres. Just imagine the lads from Thin Lizzy throwing it down and getting crazy with the boys from The Pogues only to have the Flogging Mollys and Motorhead crash the party! 'Bitter & Twisted' is a balls out rocker that comes highly recommended.
