Gone Savage - Life in Black and White/RockRollBabies

Single/Video Review
Gone Savage are a Manchester-based, retro hair-metal band based around the song-writing talents of Ian Salpekar and Will Glover. The pair have been writing songs together for some time and have a complete album ‘Past Life’ in the can, with a hoped-for mid-2022 release once all the business obstacles that self-financing bands face have been cleared. The album has already been reviewed extensively with very positive feedback and is definitely one to look forward to.
They’ve been drip-feeding singles out since November 2019 and the latest is a very neat slice of smooth and riffy music called ‘Life in Black and White’ featuring some nifty lead guitar from Sam Millar (ex Bigfoot) - and don’t forget that Sam and his Sass Bandits will be appearing for us at FiendFest in November.
The song also benefits from a very clever video created, designed, edited and produced by the talented artist, Hannah Rankine, and it features some of her trademark cartoon drawings.
Hannah’s other work is available on her website, Facebook and Etsy page under ‘Rock 'n' Roll Babies’ and is well worth checking out, especially if you’re tired of unimaginative band merchandise. Hannah creates music inspired gifts and illustrations for little people and grown-ups who like something a little different. I’ve previously bought some Wizzard and The Darkness inspired Xmas decorations from her and there are a whole range of coasters, mugs, bags and framed drawings to view at http://rocknrollbabies.co.uk/
