"Remember real rock & roll music? Remember when you could actually turn on the radio and hear straight up rock songs? Believe it or not, real rock & roll bands are still out there, just below the Coldplay-infested surface of mainstream radio and what's left of MTV. Look just below the surface and you'll see a wave of bands emerging from across the globe to carry the torch of kick in the teeth hard rock music for a new generation. One of those bands is Sweden's Hell N' Diesel, a band isn't ashamed to take a few lessons from bands like Guns n' Roses, L.A. Guns, and Motley Crue.



Passion for Power is the band's debut album. It's a hook-heavy slab of alcohol fueled Sunset Strip hard rock. Hell N' Diesel is no nostalgia act either. Their energy and aggression is on par with any trendy punk or emo band, and that absolutely comes across in their sound. The lyrics stick pretty close to the basics (sex, drugs, and rock & roll), but that's part of the band's appeal. These guys know what real, fun, rock music is supposed to sound like, and they deliver it with style.



Along with bands like Black Tide, Airbourne, Endeverafter, Fatal Smile, Dirty Penny, and Rockets to Ruin, Hell N' Diesel is bringing back real rock & roll. If you miss this kind of music, then you have to check out the fierce and catchy Passion for Power. Just don't complain to me if you blow out your speakers cranking this one up to eleven!
