The Rods

The Rods Live

£8.99

Released: 4th December 2020. Unlike a number of live albums from other bands, the Rods lived and fell by their ability to attack playing live as if their life depended on it, which this album clearly demonstrates. Whether it was due to the lack of funds or simply down to their sheer intensity, the recordings here are utterly spellbinding, displaying a reckless abandon of traditional rock etiquette and laying out a road map to hard rock heaven. Sure, in the cold light of day the songs are tight and brittle but there's a certain hunger that engulfs proceedings, like they were being set alight in a room full of gunpowder. Amazingly, the band refused to offer up a greatest hits/best of selection, choosing instead to feature mostly newly written songs so that their fan base would view it as a legitimate new release and not just a reheated package of previous material.
