Massive Wagons - "House Of Noise"


    
    Another fun discovery from a random walk down Internet Way comes a new single from Earache Records titled "House Of Noise" by UK Band Massive Wagons. Hailing from Lancaster, England, this Rock band got their start in 2009. This is a little lighter fare than the usual offerings from Mainly Tuning Out, but it makes for some fun listening. It's refreshing to hear some straight-up Rock in this world of sub and microgenres. "House Of Noise" is the title track from their upcoming album.

        I get a blend of Mike McColgan, David Lee Roth, and Bon Scott when I hear this vocalist sing, less in tone and more in attitude which is enjoyable and scratches that nostalgia itch. However, I wouldn't say this music feels nostalgic. It feels like what a Rock band would sound like in the 2020s. A slight Ska Punk feel minus the skank and the brass, the punchy tone of Hard Rock without the edgy moody vibe, the crisp rock sounds of ACDC without the weight of tradition. I'm surprised they haven't hit radio airplay in my area because I think they'd do well. 

        The song starts with a crisp overdriven guitar riff that climbs up and up, and on the repeat, the vocals and drums join in. It keeps adding layers before it punches through to a bouncy and fun chorus: "I'm just smashing my face into another tomorrow, closing today go over yesterday's audio, killing some time till I'm flushed out or told to go. I'm only killing some time inside my house of noise, killed by the climb, killed by the lows and the highs, killing some time till I go deaf in my house of noise." It also features a pretty classic-sounding solo that, I feel, doesn't disappoint. It flows really well, and feels very well crafted in its sound.


        It shouldn't be a surprise to discover that several publications list their influences as being bands like Rainbow, Slade, and UFO. They've got four albums and an EP under their belt with their fifth album "House Of Noise" dropping July 17th, 2020 via Earache Records. If you're looking for something fun to listen to and you're a fan of "wild, ballsy and LOUD old school rock n’ roll" than this should the trick your looking and then some. And if you dig this track you should definitely check out "Bangin In Your Stereo". Should you enjoy what you hear then check out the link below to pre-order this album.
