The INMATES

Sometimes I feel
like I am l lost in the record business public relations swamp.
All the music that I hear have the same beat and it feel
soulless and boring. All these big breasted, super thin,
ultracool girls with five ponytails in their hair, do NOT give me
an uncontrollable impulse to buy their music.
I want music with a heartbeat and a soul of it's own. Music that puts a smile on my face, make me wanna fall in love, do crazy things and drink a lot of beer.
I got this and much more the first time I heard the
Inmates! Back to the basics, good old sweatdripping, hot, pure
ROCK. They've got it all, the beat, the feeling and the energy.
The Inmates visited Sweden in the end of October this year and I had the privilege to take some photos during their concerts. The Inmates come from London and this year they are celebrating their 20th anniversary as a band.
They gave us 1,5
hours of music, both old songs and songs from the new
album "Silvério". Bill Hurley do not only
contribute with his special, original sounding voice, he also
know all the right moves to bring the songs alive. The Inmates
are unquestionable a very good band to watch live, they give you
action 150% of the time. On this tour they had great help from
the young Norwegian guitarist Paul Ronney who was a stand in for
Peter Gunn.
The Norwegian talent showed off by playing the guitar
laying on his back.
Everyone smiles and laughs on stage and you can really feel how
much the whole band loves playing.
So if you never heard the Inmates before, run down to your nearest recordstore and purchase their newest album. I promise you that it will soon become one of your most treasured belongings.

Thank's a lot Bill, Ben, Eddie, Tony and Paul.
Keep on rocking:-)
