“Out Here All Night”
from the album Out Here All Night
2006
iTunes
The day Damone was released from RCA Records they showcased for, and subsequently signed to Island Records. The result is the tried and true rock and roll sound of Out Here All Night. The new album is a flawless display of everything we love about rock and roll.
Led fearlessly by Noelle’s beautiful and mildly aggressive vocals, the album opens with the poppy “Now is the Time.” After that song ends the album ceases to have anything in common with the band’s debut album. Beginning with the second song (the title track) this album takes on a life all its own. “Out Here All Night” explodes from the album with some great guitar riffs and a melody you just can’t shake. The more anthemic “What We Came Here For” follows, complete with gang vocals overtop of arena style drumming as the band riotously proclaims, “I’m not someone you ignore/ Give us what we came here for!”
The rock and roll balladry of “Stabbed in the Heart” invokes the spirit of legendary female rockers like Joan Jett and Bif Naked exhibiting the softer side to the band’s rough exterior. Damone has a tremendous ability to take something that could easily be cheesy and make you feel it. This is never more evident than on the party rock “You’re the One,” as they take a typical relationship song and make you feel it. The band is just totally plugged in on this album –- you can tell it’s what they love doing.
Imagine driving fast down the interstate on a sunny day with the windows down and your stereo cranked. Now imagine the prefect album to be blasting from the speakers. Now hit the eject button and put in Out Here All Night. You won’t be sorry.
