Ever since ROCKWIRED became
acquainted with the New York City-based glam metal band STATION at the
dawn of 2014 with the release of their EP WIRED We've been anxiously
awaiting the arrival of the album that guitarist CHRIS LANE had assured
us was on it's way. Why were we so excited? The truth is, STATION
delivers the kind of rock n roll that packs a punch rather than
something to whine about. In a time when indie rock has embraced
a sickeningly down-home approach as evidenced by shit like
MUMFORD AND SONS and other bands of that foot-stomping,
accordion-playing sort STATION is here to crank up up the volume with
anthem rockers that bring us back to a day when it was boy meets girl
and then loses her and can't live without her and then realizing that
he was better off without the bitch. The metal guitar theatrics of
guitarist CHRIS LANE and the vocal pyrotechnics of front man PATRICK
KEARNEY will definitely jog a memory or two of those halcyon days of
MTV's HEADBANGER'S BALL which is weird considering the fact that the
members of STATION were barely alive back in those days. Maybe there is
some hope for rock n roll after all.
