Shane’s Music Challenge: BABYLON BOMBS – 2006 – Doin’ You Nasty
8/10

Babylon Bombs hit the bullseye on their third record, a smokin’ hot slab of twelve sleazy rock songs chock full of melody and style, performed with a palpable energy and excitement.

An accident not long after this release saw their drummer break his back, as I recall, and the band’s momentum was never fully regained, nor the heights of this record recaptured on subsequent albums.

Best bits include the exuberant opener Jaded Heart, the sleazy light-peeking-under-the-door groove of Crack Of Dawn, the hit-that-should’ve-been Hometown Hero and the party-in-your-pants rock of Let It Loose… and that’s just the first half of the album!
