Review of Rock And A Hard Place from the italian website From Burn To Now (review by Umberto Meoni, translation by Mario Fraschetti)


21/10/07 Review of "Rock In A Hard Place" from  novembers Classic Rock magazine
“We’re pragmatic, we know we’ll never be rock stars,” singer Simon ‘Mongo’ Hall told a highly responsive audience at the Rock And Blues Custom show earlier this summer. He’s probably correct, but there will always be a place for a band as unremittingly entertaining as the Handsome Beasts.

Many wrongly assumed the veteran Brits would fold when man-mountain frontman Garry ‘Flabby’ Dalloway died last year. Instead, Hall – possessed of equally formidable girth and charisma – seizes the mic for a fourth album of wide-tread, souped-up dragster-blues. Although it doesn’t quite match the group’s unmissable live show, there are at least half a dozen great, hook-laden ditties on this 11-song CD, including Heartbreaker, Animal, Headstrong and the surging, chest-beating title cut.
