Hail! Hail!

Foodchain Records Supagroup has toured around the U.S. with huge acts for decades. Their brand new album Hail! Hail! is a pure rock n' roll tribute that wears its heros on its sleeves, especially considering the name of the album and title track is from a Chuck Berry song of the same name. Supagroup takes cues from rock spanning from the '50s to the '90s. "Back in the Game" has a fun, bluesy rock feel reminiscent of Bon Scott-era AC/DC, and "That's Enough Boys" channels Anthrax with its classic thrash riffs, rebellious lyrics and police siren samples. Supagroup even profiles the violence of their hometown in "Never Bring a Knife to a Gunfight." Not every song is an adrenaline pumping rock anthem. "Along the Yangtze" is a gorgeous acoustic interlude amidst the high energy, and it really shows the musicians' versatility. Hail! Hail! is a rollicking trip into rock's history. You may want to whip out your gear from the days of the Warehouse.
