Back in the '80s, Scottish rock 'n' roll warriors Heavy Pettin strode stages worldwide whilst their debut album, 1983's Lettin Loose, threatened to break the rock world apart. They were seen as the natural ascendants to rock's highest echelons, touring internationally alongside the likes of Ozzy Osbourne and Motley Crüe as wild Glaswegian whippersnappers. Then life happened and Heavy Pettin went on a triple decade hiatus. Listening to Heavy Pettin's first new studio album since 1989 - Rock Generation - feels more like a 30 week' hiatus augmented by a supreme confidence. Led by founding frontman Stephen "Hamie" Hayman, featuring Dave "Davo" Aitken and Richie "St. James" Dews on guitars and backing vocals, plus David "Boycee" Boyce on bass and Mick "The Wizard" Ivory on drums, Rock Generation is a sonically-superb, classic song-strong rock 'n' roll return to that glorious slipstream between Def Leppard, Whitesnake and Thin Lizzy. The ten cuts bristle with full-front attitude, melody, and anthems. Take the title track, with it's hip swinging anthemic swagger, there's "Oblivion" with guest vocals from Roni Lee which carries a true Celtic swing in it's groove plus an addictive singalong chorus, while "X-Rated" fuses the attitude of Glasgow's Sauchiehall Street with the punch and panache of the Sunset Strip. Made in Glasgow at Morsecode Studios and produced with a timeless sheen by Ciarán O'Shea, make no mistake, Rock Generation is only interested in bringing you on a thrill-ride through the carefree sweat and leather landscape of cut-loose heavy rock 'n' roll. It's a mission which will demand -and receive- your willing acquiescence.
