Meet Leaded Fuel

Want some sleazy Glam? Look no further than Sweden's Leaded Fuel (cute name, eh?).

The Stockholm-based band wear Glam roots on their collective sleeves: they are proud of their work and cite Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Guns n' Roses, RATT, Alice Cooper and more as influences. I can hear each of these legendary Glam acts in Leaded Fuel's debut album Inhale and Get Pale.

So just who are Leaded Fuel? Well, naturally each member has a cute stage name: Liz Lascivious (vocals), John Priest (guitar), Dallas Chrome (guitar), Andy Jones (bass) and Iron Kongo (drums).

I've got to interrupt this introduction and review for a second. Iron Kongo?!? Seriously? How much pot do you have to smoke to think up Iron Kongo as a stage name? Crazy stuff right there. I like to think I'm on the creative side, but I'd never in a million years rename myself Iron Kongo. I digress.

So, Inhale and Get Pale has some good tracks.  Here's the entire list:

Leaded Fuel
Dirty Bitch Boogie
Southern Belle
Max Rear Traction
231 Miles
Hostage Situation
Yeah! You Bother Me
Side Effects
Rip It Up
The Way We Are

I really like "Yeah! You Bother Me"  and "Rip It Up." The latter really sounds like early Faster Pussycat. In fact, Liz Lascivious sort of has a Taime Downe quality about his voice. I think you'll agree all good sleaze comes with a little whine. I swear, this is just reason 9,876 that I need to holiday in Sweden. Me, some good Glam, Ikea and lingonberry jam. Good times.

You can buy Leaded Fuel's album here. Preview tracks at the band's official Myspace. Read an interview with Iron Kongo over at the Heavy Metal Time Machine.

[Joe]

Just listened to them and they rock!!!!..Thanks for introducing me to another awesome glam band Allyson...Sweden must have a hell of a scene over there..I LOVE IT!!!..=)

[Vince]

Yeah its really cool to live in sweden right now, the musicscene is exploding with new bands, espically glambands.
You should come over Allyson!

[Metal Mark]

Thanks for the link to my interview. I think that this is the best glam album that I have heard so far this year.

[inknsleaze]

I love this band! I wanted to do an article about them for some time too!

It sucked so much.. I found out they played in Holland the day after the concert.. COME BACK!

[PlainJane]

You said it...Sweden must be the vacation place because the music scene over there seems so awesome! I've listened to Leaded Fuel on myspace, along with Billion Dollar Babies, Eclipse, Vanity BLVD, and H.E.A.T. There are so many killer new rock bands in Sweden!

[aXe mAn]

I think they sound pretty good, I've had them on my Myspace friends list for a while now. I wish the U.S. had a glam scene like Sweden does!

[NikkeSixx]

Well sweden does have a huge sleaze scene, but it isn't THAT big over there. Music like trance, techno and all the gothenburg death metal bands are much more popular. But yea, i live right next door to Sweden (Finland) and i'd love to move there just becouse of the sleaze/glam scene <3 Crashdiet is the best band of the whole decade =D

[carl]

Is this bands cd out yet in USA?

[Allyson]

Yes, Carl.Click the CD baby link above...not available in stores.

Allyson

[BillyKiss]

I still think Babylon Bombs are better

[Mrlee]

meh i think they are shit. They are more like the newest of swedish bands, ones with good looks but not good music. The earlier bands of the swedish scene will pretty much always be best like crashdiet, or the new bands formed from old ones, like jailbait.

[dallas]

hello
thank you everyone for saying that were awesome, i agree!
rocka rolla
