Title: Impressive debut
Review: Swiss melodic rockers Shakra released their self-titled debut in 1998, but the old school melodic rock the album contained could have been released a decade earlier! The band's sound was quite similar to German band Bonfire and their Swiss countrymen Gotthard in that it was very upbeat and melodic, with dynamite guitar hooks and catchy sing-along choruses. You can also hear how American bands like Journey and Bon Jovi have influenced Shakra's style.Shakra is just a classy, melodic, "party rock" album, and was an impressive debut by a band that would only get better. Fans of bands like Gotthard, Bonfire, and Pink Cream 69 will definitely get a kick out of Shakra, and this album is a great place to start.
