One of the season’s most noteworthy debuts will have you doing the “thank goodness for slick guitar riffs, smooth lyrics, and near-perfect delivery” head bang all summer long. Saints of the Underground’s, “Love the Sin, Hate the Sinner” is a power-packed 10 track trip with rest stops featuring better than usual weighty grooves, hell of a ride hooks and impressive melodies.
“Love the Sin, Hate the Sinner” is the result of the flavorful combination that Jani Lane, Bobby Blotzer, Robbie Crane and Keri Kelli cooked up with a recipe destined for success. When you mix Lanes notoriety as Warrant’s vocalist, coupled with Blotzer and Cranes Ratt history and Keri Kellis work with Alice Cooper you get an incomparable mix that works like an honors level chemistry lab experiment in the rock and roll hall of fame.
Vocally, Lane has never sounded better and the sound that is the amalgam of Blotzer, Crane and Kelli is a backdrop of musical perfection.
Notable tracks include are “Dead Man Shoes”, “All In How You Wear It” and “Signs of Life”.
Written and produced by Bobby, Keri and Lane, the cd was mixed with Andy Johns of Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin fame making the tracks do double time – giving the listener a new sound, a new kind of smooth, a sin you won’t mind committing.
