Bluebottle - Bet It All On Red

Reviewed by Mark Oster

Rock and roll, for the fun of rock and roll. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for bands with this philosophy. Bluebottle is like a party (literally, there's at least a half dozen members at any given time, with multiple guitars, horns and keyboard) that takes you on a tour of modern rock music. I like dropping similar bands in my review, but my list for Blue Bottle would be so long, Badresa would have to buy extra bandwidth to carry it. They're prog punk in the truest sense of the word, rapidly, even suddenly on a couple of occasions, changing directions. Rock, punk, hardcore, "emo", there is definately something in there for everyone. An addictive CD, with a promise that they will only get better.
