REVIEW FROM www.music-news.com
"Kamp David have one thing that I will forgive
about almost anyone – a total lack of shame or humility about their
music. They are brash, arrogant, ‘naughty’ and there are at least four
killer singles on the album.
Starting
with a rush and a swagger and with all the camp braggadocio of Ziggy
Stardust-era Bowie or Sweet. They come on like Boy George with a rock
fetish and no matter what your sexuality or gender you cannot but
help bouncing around the room. Leading straight into ‘Red Hotel’ you
get to understand that these guys can actually play rock ‘Get You
Sue’ is 3 and a half minutes of pure bitchiness – transformer era
Lou Reed maybe – and then ‘Pain’ comes over all sensitive and ethereal
backing chorus. They claim influences from the likes of Bolan, Bowie
and the B52-s and then throw in Queen, Roxy and Alice Cooper and Japan.
The seventies for the aughties generation – I love it to bits!"
