77 clearly take influence and inspiration from their obvious idols AC/DC. However, High Decibels is more than just an homage and delivers rock music at its best.

 

High Decibels

 

A remastered edition of Propeller Sound Recordings’ 1989 release, Stands for Decibels, brings a buoyancy and punch to the music that was lost on the original release. 77’s desire and enthusiasm comes through in their energetic delivery of Seventies boogie/blues/hard rock.

 

A few songs do struggle with a lack of variety and the production is a little on the sloppy side but overall this is a good album of hard rock to crank up at a party or share a case of beer with a metal head friend.

 

Mixing hip hop with any subgenre of rock is difficult and often corny, but 77 manages to avoid the pitfalls. KC Booker’s guitar is the fulcrum that balances the band, favoring powerful riffs played electrically like on the raucous opener Miss Cindy or acoustically as on Eye of the Storm and No Peace in the Streets. Emcees Duke and Chief play off each other like longtime friends and have a good rapport. For more details please visit hit77

 

The Band

 

Hit 77 is a solid hard rock band that can really blow the roof off of any venue. They are very much in the vein of early AC/DC and even some Grand Funk Railroad at times. Armand Valeta’s firm vocal style and LG Valeta’s crisp fret work help the band stay grounded with a solid base of sound. Songs like Gimme A Dollar and Things You Can’t Talk About are great examples of this power and energy that the band can bring to a show. Their mini epic Promised Land tries to add some variety and new ideas but still stays true to their overall sound. It is not a bad effort at all, just nothing too fresh or innovative. A great listen nonetheless.

 

All in all, a good album from an up and coming group that is definitely worth checking out.
