Hell City Glamours Album Bio July 2010
When it comes to good times and a good rock ‘n’ roll show you can’t go much past Sydney’s Hell City Glamours. After 7 years treading the sticky boards of Australia’s stages in venues ranging from the smallest pubs to entertainment centres you’d damn well hope so too…
Bringing the DIY ethic and sound of their punk rock youth combined with a strong love of solid blues rock bands from the 60s through to now has created a band with a sound that stands out from their influences without hurting anyone’s feelings either.
With their debut album released locally in late 2008 after a string of EPs and tours with the likes of Paul Stanley, Airbourne, Sebastian Bach and The Angels they kicked 2009 off with a bang by heading to the US for SXSW and shows in LA and NYC before putting pen to paper on a deal with Powerage Records for the UK and Europe.
2010 saw the second single and filmclip from the album ‘One Night Only’ released as a limited edition hand packed double A-side after a well deserved break from the road. The band are concentrating on writing for their new album due in early 2011 in between some quick tours around Australia and are piecing together plans for a UK and European invasion once it’s released…

THE NICE ALBUM QUOTES

Unlike the Aussie rock bands currently hogging the airwaves, HCG aren’t a one trick pony, or just recycling previous generations sound, variety is key, and no two songs sound the same, nor do any songs drag, they get your attention from the outset and manage to hold it, which quite frankly, I cannot think of any other Aussie bands doing this kind of sound have been able to do…
Rave Magazine (Brisbane)
Without resorting to straight out plagiarism, these four guys convincingly channel the swagger and debauchery of early Aerosmith and Guns ‘n’ Roses with such conviction and attention to detail that you can tell they”re not doing it with an ironic wink to the audience…

There is nothing better than listening to a CD that blows you off your feet time and time again with its power, versatility, and originality…After listening to this album continuously for the last few days, I can only come up with one reason as to why Hell City Glamours” are not one of the “hype bands” – they are too original… Let”s hope that the world opens their eyes (and ears) to Hell City Glamours, because they deserve to be at the top of the heap.

…their eponymous debut is a rollercoaster of a record; as straight out rock”n”roll as it is glam, as pop infused as it is power-chorded, as filthy as it is polished. Sound like the complete antithesis of itself? Perhaps, but after a few listens, it begins to run together….
