HEAVY PETTIN – Rock Generation – LP – Red Vinyl [OCT 24]

LP – Limited Edition Red Vinyl.

Back in the 80s, Scottish rock n roll warriors Heavy Pettin strode stages worldwide whilst their debut album, 1983s Lettin Loose, threatened to break the rock world apart. They were seen as the natural ascendants to rocks highest echelons, touring internationally alongside the likes of Ozzy Osbourne and Motley Cre as wild Glaswegian whippersnappers. Then life happened and Heavy Pettin went on a triple decade hiatus.

Listening to Heavy Pettins first new studio album since 1989 Rock Generation feels more like a 30 week hiatus augmented by a supreme confidence. Led by founding frontman Stephen Hamie Hayman, featuring Dave Davo Aitken and Richie St. James Dews on guitars and backing vocals, plus David Boycee Boyce on bass and Mick The Wizard Ivory on drums, Rock Generation is a sonically-superb, classic song-strong rock n roll return to that glorious slipstream between Def Leppard, Whitesnake and Thin Lizzy. The ten cuts bristle with full-front attitude, melody, and anthems. Take the title track, with its hip swinging anthemic swagger, theres Oblivion with guest vocals from Roni Lee which carries a true Celtic swing in its groove plus an addictive singalong chorus, while X-Rated fuses the attitude of Glasgows Sauchiehall Street with the punch and panache of the Sunset Strip.

Made in Glasgow at Morsecode Studios and produced with a timeless sheen by Ciarn OShea, make no mistake, Rock Generation is only interested in bringing you on a thrill-ride through the carefree sweat and leather landscape of cut-loose heavy rock n roll. Its a mission which will demand -and receive- your willing acquiescence.
