Upper Lip – Deep Within
Label: Pride & Joy Music
Release date: 21st May, 2021
Website: www.upperlipmusic.com
Hard Rock from the small island of Malta. “Deep Within“ contains influences from like AC/DC, BLACK CROWES, GREAT WHITE up tp even THE DARKNESS. Fronter Chris Portelli has got kind of an unique voice which you either love or not. A record that is simply fun. Let alone the groovy “Skinny Jeans“ or the happy-sounding “Mirrors & Masks“ be very appropriate arguments for this interesting release. And so is “What Makes You Smile“ with its power and passion allover. Not really exciting in many respects, e.g. in terms of innovation or deep thoughts lyric-wise, but who actually expects that in the given genre? Nevertheless, UPPER LIP rocks like hell. So, let’s keep the party going…
