Mind of Doll was formed by four dudes from Vantaa, for being the alternative to kicking walls and pissing into corners. You can smell the stuffiness of rock clubs just by looking at the Doll's attitude, in the background you can hear echoes of some growling and howling alleycats and stray dogs, but it all will be mercilessly run over by the evilish rock'n'roll roaming of the Dolls. Low life heroes are back!
While listening to their in November 2007 released debut album "Low Life Heroes" memories of Mötley Crüe and Guns'n'Roses admix in my head with Hardcore Superstar and Backyard Babies. The Dolls themsleves discribe their influences with The Hellacopters, Smack, Backyard Babies, Ramones, Hanoi Rocks and Motörhead.
The guitar accentuated sound suits singer Visa's raw voice excellent. He doesn't only find the right pitches but has something to say as well - about the low-live of a hero.
From party hits -at least for friends of rocky glammy metal- to a contemplative ballad the four guys from Vantaa show what they are able for. This CD doesn't become boring, and every time you are listening to it you find something new.
It's not so easy to discribe a CD, you like more with every listen. Let's maybe say it like this: Low Life Heroes wasn't love of the first listen to me, but there was something fetching, that I couldn't dump it out of the player. With every rotation it becomes better and better.
A great debut!
