Our Take

STATUS QUO's latest release, "Aquostic II - That's A Fact!", is a delightful surprise that brings a fresh twist to the band's iconic sound. Known for their heavy rock anthems, the British rockers have flipped the script on this acoustic album, showcasing their musical versatility with stripped-down versions of their classic hits.

From the subtle melodies of "Break the Rules" to the soulful rendition of "In the Army Now," STATUS QUO proves that they can rock just as hard acoustically as they do with electric guitars. The addition of strings and harmonicas adds a whole new dimension to their sound, giving fans a new perspective on these beloved tracks.

Lead vocalist Francis Rossi's gravelly voice has never sounded better, resonating with raw emotion and authenticity on every track. The chemistry between him and guitarist Rick Parfitt is undeniable, as they effortlessly blend their voices and guitars to create a soul-stirring experience for listeners.

While some may argue that acoustic versions of rock songs can never live up to the originals, STATUS QUO defies expectations with "Aquostic II - That's A Fact!" This album is a testament to the band's enduring talent and ability to reinvent themselves after decades in the music industry.

In conclusion, STATUS QUO has delivered a captivating acoustic album that showcases a new side of their legendary sound. "Aquostic II - That's A Fact!" is a must-listen for fans old and new, proving that these rock veterans still have plenty of surprises up their sleeves. So grab a cuppa, settle in, and let STATUS QUO serenade you with their acoustic magic. Verdict: 9/10.

About the artist

Status Quo

Status Quo: The Band That Won't Stop Rockin' Picture this: it's 1967, the Summer of Love is in full swing, and along comes a band that couldn't care less about flower power or psychedelic drugs. That's right, it's Status Quo, the denim-clad rockers who have been belting out riff-heavy anthems for over five decades. Formed in London in 1962, Status Quo initially found success in the UK with their psychedelic sound before undergoing a musical transformation in the early 70s. It was the release of their album "Piledriver" in 1972 that solidified their signature boogie rock sound, characterized by infectious guitar riffs and uncompromisingly catchy hooks. But what truly sets Status Quo apart from their classic rock counterparts is their unwavering commitment to their sound and style. While other bands may have experimented with different genres or trends over the years, Status Quo have remained steadfast in their dedication to delivering straight-up rock 'n' roll. Their live performances are the stuff of legends, with frontman Francis Rossi and guitarist Rick Parfitt (RIP) trading blistering solos and keeping audiences on their feet for hours on end. And let's not forget the trademark head bobbing and shuffling that has become synonymous with a Status Quo show. So whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, there's no denying the enduring appeal of Status Quo. With a career spanning six decades and over 100 million records sold worldwide, it's safe to say that these rock legends show no signs of slowing down. Keep on rockin', Status Quo.
