Not a single fuck given, booze-fuelled, party ready and brimming with swagger and sex, the Michigan-based group are the full package of retro debauchery. The band\u2019s debut <i>\u2018Full Blast Fuckery\u2019<\/i> paved the way for parties aplenty with their hardcore influenced classic rock sound, and now is set to continue to bring the mayhem with <i>\u2018Right To Rise\u2019<\/i>. It\u2019s going to get sticky. <\/figure>\n<p>From the get go it is blatant the main influence that <b>Wilson<\/b> have drawn on for this release. While still as heated and chaotic, compared to their debut effort <i>\u2018Right To Rise\u2019<\/i> places itself even more firmly within the classic rock bracket and harks back on the greats for inspiration. The opening title track bustles with heavy basslines and 80\u2019s imagery and <i>\u2018Guilty\u2019<\/i> incorporates modern electronics with old school riffing and malice. The heat gets turned up pretty swiftly as <i>\u2018Crave\u2019<\/i> smokes with the kind of stalking sexuality that only rock music can provide while <i> \u2018All My Friends\u2019<\/i> possesses a riff to make the paint peel from the walls. <!-- more --><\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>The sexiness doesn\u2019t ease up as the album oozes on with <i>\u2018The Flood\u2019<\/i> bringing the boom in sticky sweet style with an abundance of woah -ohs and guitar licks before <i>\u2018Hang With The Devil\u2019<\/i> channels Motley Crue with sleazy intentions and sharp basslines. Regardless of everything being turned up to 11, it doesn\u2019t mean <i>\u2018Right To Rise\u2019<\/i> is not without its flops. <i>\u2018I Am The Fly\u2019<\/i> falls considerably flat while <i>\u2018Waiting For The World\u2019<\/i> doesn\u2019t bring any new levels of raging energy to the table. Luckily, things crash out at a considerably melodic and raucous pace with the southern styled onslaught of <i>\u2018Before I Burn\u2019<\/i>. As much as the tunes on <i>\u2018Right To Rise<\/i>\u2019 are a mixed bag, you cannot dispute the passion and lack of awareness of the consequence by the band in their pursuit of rock greatness. <\/p>\n<p>Though it probably could use a little bit more grit in its teeth and fine =-tuning to make it a complete record, <i>\u2018Right To Rise\u2019<\/i> is the sort of the balls-out free-flowing rock star motherfuckery that we all need every now and then. With no frills attached and bringing classic rock crashing into 2015 with a shot of whisky and pack of smokes in hand, <b>Wilson<\/b> know where they came from and know exactly where they are going and that doesn\u2019t look set to change any time soon. <\/p>\n<p>3.5\/5<\/p>\n<p><em>Right To Rise<\/em> by <strong>Wilson<\/strong> is out now on <b>Razor &amp; Tie<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wilson<\/strong> links: <a href=\"http:\/\/wilsonpartyanimals.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wilsonparties\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/wilsonparties\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Words by Jack Rogers (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JackMRog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@JackMRog<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wilson are the gleaming epitome of what rock music should be all about.
