Piledriver - Rockwall

2018 release. Following the release of the album Brothers In Boogie two years ago which was received with great enthusiasm by both fans and reviewers, as well as the powerful Blu-ray release The Boogie Brothers Live In Concert from June 2017, Piledriver now keep on following their individual path with their fourth album Rockwall. Technically, brilliantly composed classic rock being presented in an authentic, straightforward and song- oriented way defines the band's powerful sound in 2018 and shows all the more that these guys have found their "signature sound". After more than 20 years of band history, Piledriver prove with Rockwall that they have finally left behind the shackles of a Status Quo tribute band and are now standing on their own two feet. Admittedly, there is the Status Quo cover "Rockers Rollin" on the album which can be understood as a homage to Rick Parfitt. However, this song fits perfectly into the overall pattern of Rockwall. On these 13 tracks, wild rock 'n' roll hits like "Spark" and stadion rock hymns like "Stomp" take turns with gentle ballads ("For Freedom And Friends") and wonderfully relaxed songs like the terrific, floating "Farewell" promising to be a real treat for rock fans.
