Our Take

HUMBLE PIE's California 81 is a glorious mishmash of 80s rock and roll bravado, with a touch of California sun-soaked nostalgia thrown in for good measure. The album kicks off with "Doomsday," a track that perfectly encapsulates the band's carefree attitude and love for all things excess. Lead singer Steve Marriott's vocals soar over the infectious guitar riffs, making it impossible not to tap your foot along.

"Infatuation" takes things down a notch, with a slower tempo and introspective lyrics that make you want to grab a bottle of wine and ponder life's big questions. The harmonies on this track are tight, showcasing the band's ability to blend different genres seamlessly.

The real standout on this album, however, is "Sunrise," a sprawling epic that clocks in at just under ten minutes. With its psychedelic influences and dreamy production, this track transports you straight to the beaches of Malibu, cocktail in hand.

Overall, California 81 is a rollercoaster of an album that never fails to surprise and delight. HUMBLE PIE may have been around the block a few times, but they show no signs of slowing down. So grab your aviators, crank up the volume, and let California 81 take you on a wild ride. Cheers!
