Shockwave Magazine gives 4 out of 5 stars!

With the release of their self-titled debut cd pending, SWEET CYANIDE has poised themselves in a great position to make a charge into the rock world. The date July 7th is one that both Sweet Cyanide and their label Break Down Lane Music will be looking back on fondly for a long time to come.

I listened to the album and here are my thoughts:
While the songs played it put me into a mindset of late eighties early nineties rock bands, it took me back to a time when I had hair and well rock bands had lots of hair and a bit of make up as well. The frontman on most all of the tracks, Sal Scoca, has a voice that matches those era bands. They do give us a different side as well with one of the hottest female vocalists Lindsay Benjamin stepping in to add a little fla-vor to the songs. The drummer plays a very Motley Crue type of sound and I will be damned if the band doesn’t cite them as a major influ-ence. These individuals, Sal Scoca, vocals, Angelo Fariello, bass, Mike Bambace, Drums, and Joe Salvatore, Guitar, pour out a throwback feel that is both refreshing and reintoductive into the now stagnant Three Days Grace sound of today‟s rock and roll bands. With a classic sex, drugs, and rock theme that rides from the cover (which I did enjoy tremendously) to the last note played on a guitar riff, they bring en-ergy not seen in years in the genre. Any guy that gets this album will enjoy singing along in the car and banging their girls head off the headboard to SWEET CYANIDE. If you worship the Crue, or Velvet Revolver, you will be pissed if you let this band get away. So go out and get the damn cd. Oh yeah if you have a lil brother in his teens.. he will be staring at the cover for hours. If nothing else. get the album for him.

From a scale of Garbage Can to Car Audio I give them a solid cd. Shelf placement..that‟s 4 out of 5.

Rock on SWEET CYANIDE!!
