http://chain-whipped.com/cwgigflyer.jpg"With a fury that rivals vintage Sex Pistols, Loadsock's sound is pure rattlesnake venom. The roar of vintage British amplification is evident as is the absolute devastation the band unleashes. "Beautiful Mistake" is an instant classic. Wearing it's influences on it's sleeve, Loadsock gathered all the elements that make a great rock debut album and combined them into one ferocious roar. The lewd lascivious lyrics, the monster guitar solo's, growling bass riffs, and thunderous drums are all here in one devastating debut. Loadsock was created by guitarist "Bad" Brad and studio wiz/bassist extrordinaire J Quest. Using only vintage Marshall and Fender amps for the guitar sound (no modeling here folks) and a veritable plethora of Royer, Neuman, and AKG mics, the band spared no expense in creating a bombastic celebration of the hard rock genre. Enlisting the skill of "Furious" George Perilli behind the drum kit, Loadsock is perhaps a power trio to end all power trio's. Elements of some of the greatest bands of all time can be heard throughout, yet culminating in a sound all it's own. The members of LOADSOCK have worked with some of the greatest names in pop/rock history and their seasoning and experience shine through in the 12 tracks that blaze through this disc. Not since "Appetite for Destruction" has a band come this close to the rora borealis without getting seriously burned. Let's hope this band survives it's demons to give us more beautiful mistakes like this one."Sy Silverstein/The New Rock Bible..
