German promo cd in cardboard sleeve.

Describing themselves as ‘Beer drinkin’, whiskey slammin’, hotel trashin’; chick bangin’ – kick ass Rock n’ Roll’ Pump, founded in February of 2002, deliver eighties styled melodic Hard Rock and features the frontman Marcus Jurgens from ex-Brainstorm. The band acted as openers for Axel Rudi Pells 2004 European tour and also put in a brace of supports to Queensryche. Progress was maintained as the band contracted a multi-album deal with the Metal Heaven label, entering Area 51 studios in July with producer Tommy Newton once again to record their second album ‘Breakdown To Breakthrough’. ‘Breakdown To Breakthrough’ is a solid piece of 80’s style metal. Lead Singer Marcus Jurgens has a vocal style that is a cross between Dave Meniketti (Y&T) and Fernando Garcia (Victory). His excellent vocals mixed with the dynamic duo of shred, Aki Reissmann and Ullrich Simon Hauff are going to bring some joy to the ears of a lot of hard rock fans out there. There isn’t a single track without some killer heavy guitars and great vocals to match. The rhythm section of Stephan Burk on Bass and Achim Keller on Drums provide the infectious beats and awesome grooves on this disc. This is one of those albums that will immediately appeal to 80’s style hard rock fans. Some of the songs took a couple of listens to truly enjoy, but I really couldn’t find a single track that I didn’t like.
