Breezy's Top 15 of 2013! #14 and #15!

Here we go with another year end list of my fave records from the past 11 months or so.  #15 comes from a band that I have been following since their first record in 1983.  One of Canada's best, and underrated hard rock bands...Killer Dwarfs.

#15. Killer Dwarfs - Start @ One

What was to be their 6th studio album in 1993, has finally been released 20 years later!  This record is full of all the things that make the Dwarfs great.  Nice riffage, catchy choruses, and amazing vocals once again from Russ Dwarf.  This record sits along nicely with their catalog, and is a perfect follow up to 1992's Method To the Madness.  The opening trio of Lonely Road, Solid Ground, and Sky is Falling set the tone with lots of melody and classic metal. Down in Hollywood might be one of their best ever. Although recorded 20 years ago, the production has been brought up to todays standards and sounds great. The boys are out on tour supporting this album, and I personally hope this is the beginning of a new phase of their career, with a new studio record to come.  I have seen the Dwarfs live a couple of times, and they always deliver.  So buy the record, and go see them when they hit your town. Glad you are back! GO DUNK!


#14 Coney Hatch - Four 

Like the Dwarfs, Coney Hatch is back after an extended absence.  The last studio album was 1985's Friction, which should have put them into the upper echelons of Hard Rock and Metal.  It was not to be, and the band broke up soon after.
So here we are all these later, with all original members back with their fourth studio album.  If you ever enjoyed this band back in the day, go out and get this one.  Great melodic hard rock, with both Carl Dixon and Andy Curran handling vocals as always. Tunes like Boys Club, Blown Away, and a great cover of Angel City's Marseille, show Hatch hasn't lost a step.  Hopefully this is a new start to their career!  Welcome back boys!


Until next time, keep the faith and MUYA!
