Bad Touch - ' Bittersweet Satisfaction'

Straight off the bat, Slip Away comes in full of funk and groove. Stratocaster tones screaming SRV and Reef with booming bass to suit. This song sets the scene for the pleasure dome you’re about to witness.

This Life… Here he is… “SEXY” Stevie Westwood making my hairs stand on end! Happy go lucky sing-a-long number this one. Guitars sounding strong, rhythm is kicking and that voice is on point!

Spend My Days has a different feel to it, instant emotions are running through my body as the guitar intro draws me into to Stevie’s storytelling. The instruments are layered in perfect harmony to suit this song.

BITTERSWEET SATISFACTION! In my personal opinion, this is the best song these Bad Boys have ever written!!! In fact, it’s so good that I’m gonna keep you in suspense and let this banger blow you away without influence.

Nothin Wrong With That has been making its way through the airways as a pre release. Cracker of a song. I’m feeling BlackBerry Smoke meets Aerosmith vibes. Love the lyrics in this song! 

Taste This.. Epic intro, love the guitar riff! Stevie delivers a classic emotional tale and the guitars draw you in and out of the story to suit! This song should be on an advert for something sexy, no doubt. #lovehoney

“Tonight”, I wish I was taking the Bad Touch boys out for dinner to congratulate them on this album! This song is a sweetheart! Got some Bryan Adams vibes in there and tasty vocal lines from S.W! Guitars singing for themselves and some tasty drum breaks make this one a lil different.. In the best way.

Big drums, epic guitars.. soulful singing… “Come back again”.. I love the lyrics in this song. If Michael Bolton was in a kick arse country infused blues rock band with Steve Lukather on guitar, this is it. 

See it to believe it, comes it hard and powerful with all the boys giving it some sass. Chorus is killer and will be a festival favourite, no doubt! I hope Stevie rolls out a Hammond on stage for this one.

The final track of this epic journey is; Dizzy For You. This is a tidy end to the album, it’s light hearted and the most “poppy” of them all, for me, but good poppy.. Think 90s Huey Lewis vibes. Never a bad thing when you show some diversity in this business. Stevie delivers another soulful story, rhythm is tight and the guitars sounding sweet.

My closing statement….

This is hands down, the best album I’ve heard for a long, long time!

I urge you to pre order it.

If you’re uncertain… Bad Touch tour the UK in Feb/March 2024 and they won’t be far away from you, so grab a ticket and see this decadent spectacle for yourself!!

Best Regards
