S.E.X Department – Rock ‘N’ Roll Suicide

• 23rd Oct 2009

Sleaze rock rears its ugly sweaty head this month in the timely shape of S.E.X Department. They have the name, the have the tracks and here is the album, suitably sleazy it is too.

Even if every sleaze rock band that seems to be about pays a huge tribute to earlier rock bands up to Gun’s N Roses, they are all still effectively trapped in a time warp. What we are waiting on is for someone to update Sleaze Rock into a new genre that truly innovates music and becomes less of the parody that it has become over the years.

S.E.X Department are not the band to do this. They are only faithful and true to what they and we already know. They manage well by their own standards and have managed to write an album that will fit into a collection without creating too much fuss for aficionados.
