The band is called Power, the album is titled Electric Glitter Boogie, and in both cases this is truth in advertising if there ever was such a thing. A trio from Melbourne, Australia, Power play loud and proud hard rock with massive volume, king-sized riffs, and practically nothing in the way of frills or subtlety. While there are hints of junkshop glam and '70s boogie rock running through these eight songs (and the guitar solos occasionally suggest these guys listened to a lot of Black Flag), none of that gets in the way of Power's ultimate goal: to provide high-impact rock & roll for people who've always thought AC/DC were too twee. The members of Power -- guitarist and singer Nathan "Slimy" Williams, bassist Isaac Ishadi, and drummer Matt Penkethman -- supposedly decided to form a band after spending a night raving about Australian Sharpie icons Coloured Balls, and if that band was brutally simple, Power have managed to move a few steps forward on that scale, and Electric Glitter Boogie plays like it was recorded during a beer-sodden last set at a pub on Saturday night. Even by the beefy standards of Antipodean punk and hard rock, this music is tough, sweaty, and muscular, and the presentation is purposefully crude (though quite competent). Ultimately, Power's precision assault is just a bit too minimal for its own good -- the band may be tight and fearless, but the songs are so simple they start to blur into one huge riff after a while, inducing fatigue by the time the song "Power" finally winds out. (And the band had better hope whoever owns the copyright to Focus' "Hocus Pocus" doesn't listen too closely to the title cut.) You could say Motörhead or Rose Tattoo barely had songs, but they could generate memorable hooks better than Power does here, and Electric Glitter Boogie may be big dumb fun, but it would be better if there was something here you could remember after it was over.
