Crash Landing is the second album from German rock 'n' roll quintet The Satellites, delivering a red-hot dose of early rock 'n' roll and blues with plenty of twang, guitar and slap bass. The band's wonderfully daft outer-space concept tells the story of a musical radiation from another planet, with these eleven tracks supposedly rescued from the tapes found at their crash site!
Musically, however, there's nothing alien about what makes The Satellites so good. Crash Landing is packed with original songs played with a genuine 1950s feel, from the stomping opener Hot Rockin' Night and the catchy Baby, Honey, Sugar through to the bluesy Homeless, guitar-led Gargoyle and the gloriously titled Space Boobs. The band's sound draws on the roots of rock 'n' roll while keeping everything lively, melodic and distinctly their own.
If you like your rockabilly played with authentic 1950s attitude, Crash Landing is well worth beaming aboard. Eleven original tracks, superb musicianship and a band with enough personality to make their own little corner of the rockabilly galaxy. The Satellites deliver the goods without sounding like another carbon-copy revival band. Strap yourself in and prepare for launch!
