Dalton – Playing With Fire – single review – frontiersmusicsrl

Review By Darren McIntyre

Dalton are an AOR /Hard rock band from Stockholm, Sweden who originally formed in 1986.The boys enjoyed huge success with the likes of Europe & Treat and this made Dalton a force to be reckoned with, the boys have given us The Race Is On in 1987, Injection in 1989 & Pit Stop in 2014, 7 singles & a compilation album. Today after a 12 year hiatus the boys are back with new single Playing With Fire from soon to be released new album Rock Will Never Die slated for release December 12, please sit back as I take us through this fantastic new offering.

Playing With Fire – The track kicks off with a real sludgy, gritty riff that brings in the bass kicks for a deep funky punch that lets this toe tapping groover build. The melodic vocals slip in and let the track come at us as the boys join in and give us a real treat with this fist pumping beat that just grabs our attention, the low end is hitting us with a real dark, meaty feel that wraps itself around this real fresh, funky track that just puts a smile on your face. The addition of the Hammond style keys really elevates the arrangement as it just pops with real vigour as a solid, slick guitar solo flows freely through the mid section as the track warms up and just delivers a crunching, mellow beat that will have us reaching for the repeat button for sure.
