| Billed in the past as a progressive band, L.A. based hard rockers ACCOMPLICE have shed that confining label on their sophomore release to spin a fun hard rock album that will easily remind many of the hard rocking late 80's and early 90's. Visions of bands like FIREHOUSE, BAD COMPANY (Howe era), HARDLINE and even Hagar styled VAN HALEN come to mind while listening to She's On Fire. The HARDLINE comparisons will mean the most for some listeners because of the voice of Johnny Gioeli. Johnny was of course the vocal presence behind HARDLINE and most recently has been taking Axel Rudi Pell's albums to new heights. The man just has a wonderful set of pipes. This album could easily be just a showcase for his talents, but thankfully it isn't. Scott Snyder and Rich Arbuckle make for a great rhythm section, something that is desperately needed on hard rock albums like this. Without them many of these tunes would most likely sound hollow and fall flat. Michael T. Ross adds in some appropriate keyboards, best example being on the excellent title track, where he takes a funky little rocker and turns it into a DEEP PURPLE styled gem. The guitar work of Sean Michael Clegg is simply outstanding. His work here is seldom overstated, providing exactly what is called for at all times. Much like Neal Schon you don't realize how good he is until after a couple of spins. The riffs are excellent and always directly in the pocket, whether it is thick and rich like on "Shadows of My Mind" or light and playful on "Again & Again". Then he gets his chance to show off on the instrumental "Last Hurrah". | |
