For Fans Of: Thousand Needles In Red, Jet, Audiovent.
Calling All Cars are the band who supported ACDC. That is how a lot of Australians know them, but that is because they earned the right to support Australia’s biggest rock band. Their debut album ‘Hold, Hold, Fire’ is the answer to the dreams of the many fans of rock.
‘Disconnect’ is the first song that blasts out of your stereo and declares war in your lounge room. Calling All Cars play dirty, aggressive, rock music that you expect to be played nice and loud at your local tavern. “You say that you are not like anybody!!!” those are the lyrics that every listener will have forever burnt into their memories. They originate from the anthem ‘Not Like Anybody’, a song that demands audience participation thanks to the loud, aggressive yells of Haydn Ing and the undeniably catchy chorus. This is an album that with each song the listener hears, that song becomes their favourite, and by the end of the album it becomes impossible to choose a solitary one. If one were too choose just a few than they would include ‘Soldier On’, ‘Animal’, ‘Liar Liar Liar’, ‘Accident Waiting’, ‘Hold, Hold, Fire’ and ‘Little Red Hands’. This is a complete album and gifts the listener an enjoyable, aggressive listen that will have them wondering where did this band come from?
Calling All Cars have taken the throne of the best Australian hard rock group. They did all this with just their debut album, ‘Hold, Hold, Fire’. Hands down Australia is producing the best music in the world today and Calling All Cars are proof.
