Approved: Satan Takes A Holiday (SNAP Of The Day)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 2 September 2009
Presumably named after the infamous Anton Lavey – founder of the Church of Satan – album, Satan Takes A Holiday are a Swedish three piece that make ‘poppy’ garage rock in the lineage of The Stooges and fellow Scandinavians The Hives. They haven’t quite captured the energy of their live show on record yet, but ‘Heartbreaker’ will give you an inkling of it, being melodic, explosive and manifestly catchy, with lead singer Big Fred yelping all over like Steven Tyler. If they could just step off the 70s rock button at times and aim more for the intelligent punk of Mclusky then it’s likely they could make something really special.
