Whiteknuckle By Mike SOS No holds barred hard rock with a whiskey chaser is what seasoned NYC unit Urbansnake serves up on its 11-track disc Whiteknuckle. Combining a discernibly dark rock feel akin to Godsmack and Alice in Chains with the NYC power rock feel championed by the ghosts of bands like Circus of Power and Warrior Soul, this quintet throws down concrete slab riffs with high octane driving rhythms on cuts like "Orphan" and the infectious "Alive and Lonely," while the sinister grooves found in tracks like "Blow Shit Up" and "Bulldozer" showcase the group's uncanny knack for melding melody and fury. Fortified with a bevy of heavy hooks and stocked with the hard rock histrionics of bands like Soundgarden and STP, and fueled by the classic metal of Judas Priest and Motorhead, Urbansnake's fist-pumping refrains and super tight rhythms make for a pedal to the metal listening experience for those longing for the days of unfettered heavy music.
