Several years earlier, Bill Leverty of Firehouse produced and played in Rockarma along with the talented singer/guitarist, Damon Kelly, and this time, the Canadian singer brought out his best with the killer second release and a complete new line up. It's 2007 but this record made you think is it still 1989. The superb melodies, the heavenly hooks, the impressive harmonic chants, made up one solid disc that I guarantee will stuck in your player for weeks.
My favorite tracks here are "Between You And Me", "I Know", "Missin You", "Bring It", and "Same Old Song". All of them have an exciting and euphoric tones, big potential to score top-chart position back in the glam heydays. The rest are also very good with hardly any filler at all. "All 4 You" sounded like an unreleased Damn Yankees left-over, "Get Me Outta This Hole" blows a dense Firehouse air, and tracks like "Let's Go" or "That's All" were dictated by Ratt's distinctive party naughty rhythm, a typical packed arena flame-bursting songs. While I still see some growing in process , Rockarma is basically still at its early stage and hopefully they can keep the up the speed and delivered a more matured melodic rock splash in the future.
If you like Firehouse, Poison, Marcello/Vestry, and Danger Danger, chances are you will fall in love with "Bring It" at first listen, they might not offer you some virtuosity and complicated compositions nor technical experimentation, but let me tell you something, if you need a chance to get away, satisfaction all night, like Bret Michaels always said, this ain't nothin' but a good time. Great stuff!
