Emily's Albums A to Z

Listened: Tuesday October 5

I’ve already commented on what a force of nature Erika Wennerstrom is, but on The Mountain, she is quite simply a badass. Fitting that this review follows Ocean Colour Scene, because I’d use the same descriptors I used there for this album: bombastic, testosterone stomp.

Since I wrote my last Heartless Bastards review all those months ago at the beginning of the project, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing them perform. It was everything a rock and roll show should be – loud and fearless. Heartless Bastards, like Led Zeppelin, are the rare band that makes me want to headbang.
