REVIEW BY Blake
AUTOMAN a 4 piece band from Toronto, Ontario
that has the sound of a blast from the past with a hard rocking sound
in the vein of early Aeromsith, AC/DC, and ZZ Top type of bluesy
rocking foot stompers. Automan featuring Darrell "Dwarf" Millar on lead
vocals. Darrell is best known as the former drummer of 80's Canadian
metal/hard rock band The Killer Dwarfs. His vocals definitely omit a
party style atmosphere. Rest of the band includes Carleton Lockhart on
guitar, John Fenton on Bass and Adrian Cavan on drums. The cd featuring
8 tracks of straight ahead hard rocking. CINNAMON RAIN is the closest
to a power ballad type of sound that has a Aerosmith feel too it. Some
great hard rockers in ONE HALF HARD, CHASIN MY TAIL and the final track
the bluesy rocking party track DRIVIN, ROCKIN, LOVIN, which gives off a
ZZ top type of boogie rocking song. Just listening to this cd I can
picture a bar or club just rocking out and partying hard to the classic
rock sound from AUTOMAN. Its like the 70's has sprung up again and in
this case its a really good thing. Check them out at
