L.A. hard rock supergroup
We Are Harlot offer up a debut that makes nods to the Sunset Strip rock of the '80s, while still grounding itself in the present. Formed in 2011 by former
Asking Alexandria singer
Danny Worsnop and guitarist Jeff George (
Sebastian Bach), the group slowly developed its sound, eventually recruiting bassist
Brian Weaver (
Silvertide) and drummer Bruno Agra (
Revolution Renaissance) to complete the lineup. Recorded in L.A. and produced by Kato Khandwala, their debut has the cool cockiness of classic
Guns N' Roses and
Mötley Crüe with plenty of strong melodies and tight harmonies, marking a real departure for each of the band's members, especially
Worsnop. ~ Timothy Monger
