    Put Guitar Hero aside; get into some anthem rock

    I'm from the Boston area and I discovered Bang Camaro through local radio, which is a great source for artists looking to take flight. But you? You may have heard them in one of several video games which feature their songs, take Guitar Hero or Rock Band for instance. This is a band consisting of a minimum of two guitarists, a bass player, a drummer, and a variable gathering of "lead singers" ranging from four to upwards of a dozen (there are fourteen faces in Bang Camaro II's liner notes, mind you). As a whole, the band is a conglomerate of members of other bands, and historically they have even auditioned singers to join them on stage for shows on the road. Alex Necochea, co-founder, labels the band anthem rock. I might add arena rock on top of that, even though anthem rock essentially says it all. Without all the singers, Bang Camaro probably wouldn't be able to pull off the sound they're going for. Enter a wicked vibe with everyone singing their faces off. There are far too many influences of their's to list, but I would compare them to your typical 80's rock band, but with a multitude of singers, of course. It's a rockin' sound you really need to appreciate for yourself. Bang Camaro already have an album under their belt, which is self-titled and has a tone of something to prove... perhaps claiming, "Yeah, we will be awesome." Bang Camaro II offers what a lot of sophomore efforts unfortunately don't - more of the same. With a chorus of singers and so many members in the mix, they have successfully taken flight and Bang Camaro II is a great sequel. We get more of the same in songs riddled with guitar solos and just a collection of fun, single-worthy songs in general. I imagine they find difficulty choosing which songs to perform live because just about every one of them is commendable. With guitars and melodies being the focal point of the music, they've done one thing different this time around. They've incorporated an instrumental bass solo, "Thunderclap," much like that of Cliff Burton's "Pulling Teeth" bass solo off Metallica's Kill 'Em All. Do something different for yourself - put Guitar Hero aside and get into some anthem rock.
