FACE TO FACE, by the Australian band the Angels is a uniquely Australian blend of the traditional hard rock of AC/DC, Montrose, Grand Funk, Foghat, the J. Geils Band, Nazareth, Aerosmith, and Ted Nugent with new wave inflences. Like Cold Chisel and a number of other Australian rock bands, the Angels' music celebrates good times while carrying around a strong sense of foreboding, which is clearest on the dark rocker "Can't Shake It." I take this feeling of the need for caution, which shows itself in the vocals and the guitar riffs, as a warning that if I don't look at pictures of TV and movie hotties as a deterrent to self-indulgent behavior, I could find myself in dire trouble. The band members' belief that the young Australian tourist convicted in Indonesia last spring on drug-smuggling charges was a victim of a grave injustice makes this CD an essential listen for both your ears AND your conscience.
