Good times rock 'n' roll is good hands with Speedmobile, a loud and fast power trio featuring members of Dutch bands Batmobile and Peter Pan Speedrock. On their second full-length Demolition Town they barrel through 15 tracks, celebrating living in the fast lane and ignoring all the warning signs. These men keep it simple and basic - the sole instrumental is called Instrumental, taking cues from the playbooks used by AC/DC, Motörhead and the Ramones, with a hint of the heavy glamrock of Alice Cooper thrown in for good measure.
This is a band that gets in your face, with your ears ringing. Trying to resist jumping and down, while headbanging, is a lost cause. Speedmobile proves that you only need a couple of choice chords and a supertight rhythm section to get a rise out of an audience. Sure, there is plenty of posturing, but isn't rock 'n' roll supposed to be bigger than life?
