BRISK metallish powerpop from the leftover members of the strange phenomenon that was The Darkness, this calls seventies rocky pop bands such as the Sweet to mind. Stone Gods features Justin Hawkin’s brother, Dan, and bassist turned frontman Richie Edwards, whose performance oddly reminds of Suzy Quatro in Devil Gate Drive. The brief incongruous Caribbean steel drum break only adds to the sense of mucking about that so incensed the metalheads back in their Darkness days.
