Dirty rock 'n' roll. Really dirty rock 'n' roll. That is what the doctor ordered to get out of the gloom of a rainy November day. The self-titled debut by Steve Conte & The Crazy Truth is a sure fire cure. Previously only available at the merch tablle at New York Dolls gig, the album gets an proper release. No looking at the the inner self, getting in touch with your feelings and all that. No, it's about nightly cab rides, ugly truths, gambling and drugs. Oh, and the street team adventures of an Indie Girl.
New York Dolls guitar player Steve Conte and fellow rawk guys Lee "Leeko" Kostrinsky (bass, backing vocals and Phil Stewart (drums, backing vocals) are loud and obnoxious. And that's what rock 'n' roll is all about.
The doctor advices to play this album loud. Play really fucking loud. And then play it again.
Steve Conte & The Crazy Truth is released in the UK/ Europe on November 30th by Varese Vintage/Colosseum Music.
