Thanks to a new deal signed with the label DA Records,
from 25th September the album Sinner, realized by the
great singer Dave Evans, will be available on the
stores in a new, reprinted version.
Dave Evans was AC/DC founder and first singer in the
first vinyl called Can I sit next to you girl ,
released on 1973, which is the first work from the
australian band formed by Angus & co.
Sinner has a really huge impact thanks to Back on the
firing line, a powerful and catchy song. The singer
has a deep, hoarse and strong voice, useful to create
a winning musical excerpt.
You can totally breath a 100% rock atmosphere
listening to Take Me Down Again, an amazing song which
is able to thrill every listener, giving a lot of
adrenaline, like feeling yourself getting out from a
running train. Sinner sounds like a typical boogie –
rock song, showing off an hot atmosphere balanced by a
perfect combination of scream voice and powerful
guitars. It sounds sharp like a true rock song. I
think that it’s hard to choose the best song, cause
this is an explosive album, full of energy, which is
able to grasp one’s audience from the beginning till
the end.
For sure it’s impossible to resist music, listening to
Sold my soul to rock ‘n roll, one of my favourite
songs, definitely a rock ‘n roll hymn, rough and wild
thanks to an hot riff and a fiery refrain underlined
by an amazing voice, which is the true protagonist of
the whole song.
I’m writing about a true, pure and fast album,
composed by twelve songs that really could win one’
spurs. Ladies and gentleman, we have a sharp, “cultâ€
cd reprinted ready to be listened and if you’re
looking for a fucking rock n’ roll, well, this album
has been “served up†on your table.
REVIEW FROM GOREZONE MAGAZINE BY GARRY CHARLES
DAVE EVANS
SINNER
DESTROY ALL RECORDS
In an age where rock music is being replaced with tags
such as neu-metal, emo and gothic it is a genuine
treat when someone turns around and sticks two fingers
up and screams ‘fuck you, I’m doing what I want’.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I love rock in most of its
forms and enjoy listening to everything from
Whitesnake to Nine Inch Nails. Newer bands such as
Disturbed, Seether and the sadly split Creed can’t be
beat when sat writing, but I have a love for old style
rock that is just bang your head brilliance.
With that in mind you can imagine my surprise when I
make contact with DAVE EVANS, original front man for
AC/DC and self confessed badass of rock. We get to
talking and he offers (very kindly) to send me a copy
of his solo album SINNER. I wait patiently for it to
arrive and rip away the packaging in eager excitement.
I waste no time in sliding the shiny disc into my
player and ready my ears for pure rock n’ roll.
And, fucking hell was I in for a treat!!!
SINNER is one of those albums that grabs you by the
scrotum and drags you back to an era when Rock music
was just that…ROCK N’ FUCKING ROLL, BABY.
I was immediately grasped by Dave’s voice; a mixture
of GENE SIMMONS (KISS), DEE SNIDER (TWISTED SISTER)
and BRIAN JOHNSON (AC/DC) that has then been fed
through a super amplifier and cranked up to full
volume. Take this voice and place it amongst some of
the catchiest riffs since ALICE COOPER and you have a
fucking winner. After only a couple of listens I found
myself singing along as if I had been a member of the
band from the start, banging my head until my brain
hurt.
SINNER is 100% undiluted hard rock, an album brimming
with sound and energy. It’s rare to come across an
album that embodies what rock is all about and does so
with never a filler track in sight. Each and every
song does exactly what you would expect. I can’t wait
to see what the badass of rock does next.

BIO FOR DAVE EVANS aka KING OF ALL BADASSES
Dave Evans originally arrived in Australia from Carmarthen Wales, aged five, and settled in North Queensland with his family. After forming his first band In Session in Charters Towers when he was seventeen he moved to Sydney where he formed a band (no name yet!) with Malcolm Young, Colin Burgess and Larry van Kriedt - a week later Malcolm's younger brother Angus joined. Malcolm and Angus' sister-in-law Sandra came up with the name AC/DC - to signify power and energy - and so one of the greatest rock and roll bands ever was born!
AC/DC's first gig was at Chequers Nightclub in Sydney on New Years Eve 1973 and the band went on to attract a strong live following in the next few months before recording their first single - Can I Sit Next To You Girl b/w Rocking In The Parlour.
At this time Angus started wearing his now famous schoolboy uniform (has he ever taken it off?!?!) and with their single racing up the national charts AC/DC undertook a grueling tour beginning at the Sydney Opera House and then playing to packed houses all around Australia. Life on the road is tough for any band and frictions and egos increased steadily until a punch-up between Evans and their manager made life on tour unbearable - and a split between Evans and AC/DC became inevitable.
Bon Scott was a friend of Malcolm and Angus' elder brother George Young (a member of the legendary Easybeats - Friday On My Mind - and a well-known Australian record producer with Harry Vanda) and had seen the band perform in Adelaide. He agreed to join AC/DC, by this stage one of the leading rock bands in Australia, and he and the band went on to rock and roll immortality as one of the biggest bands in the world.
After parting ways with AC/DC Dave Evans moved to Newcastle just north of Sydney and joined up and coming hard rock outfit Rabbit in early 1975. Rabbit were already the number one rock band in Newcastle and the surrounding area and Dave had seen them performing at Chequers nightclub in Sydney and was impressed with their confronting stage presence.
It wasn't long until they had signed with CBS records and recorded their first album "Rabbit" which had mediocre success. In 1976 they recorded the album "Too Much Rock And Roll" and with their appearances on the numerous television pop/rock shows this album launched them into national popularity. Rabbit were described as frenetic, violently hedonistic and Dave himself was described as savagely heterosexual. Rabbit after-show parties were always wild affairs and popular with friends, fans and groupies.
The "Too Much Rock And Roll" album was then distributed in Japan, Germany, France, Luxembourg, Holland, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Although sales were steady Rabbit did not tour these countries as two members called it quits after a grueling three month Australian tour. The band continued after adding a new drummer and released the single "Let Me" but it wasn't the same feeling without the two original members and the band folded in 1978.
Dave Evans and Thunder Down Under was formed in 1985 after his previous band, Dave Evans and Hot Cockerel, was forced to change its musical style. Dave Evans and Hot Cockerel were a heavy two guitar rock act and the music was back to basics rock - which was Dave Evans's musical roots with AC/DC - but although the band played to packed houses they could not get a record contract. At the time - mid 80's - the Australian record companies were signing bands dominated by synthesizers and with very little heavy guitar riffs and power chords.
After being turned down again and again (with apologies!) despite the fact that the band was putting bums on seats, Dave decided to try a new approach by combining the heavy guitar sounds with synth, brass and strings and adding a strong vocal harmony component.
This worked and he signed with independent label Reaction Records. He recruited all new musicians and called the new band Dave Evans and Thunder Down Under.
After Dave Evans and Thunder Down Under split Dave pursued an acting career with lead roles in small production Australian films - Coming of Age, Leonora and Come and Get It plus working in live theatre. In early 2000 Dave was invited to be a special guest for Melbourne AC/DC tribute band Thunderstruck for their 20th anniversary memorial gig for Bon Scott. This special occasion was recorded live and A Hell of a Night was released through Perris Records.
Dave has since toured Europe as a solo artist. SINNER has now been signed to USA label Destroy All Records (DA Records) and distributed in stores by BCDmg Distributors.
Long live Rock!
