Official Teeze/Roughhouse Page
English Version:
Roughhouse issued their debut and soon the last album too in 1989. The Americans were on the road since 1980 under the name “Teeze” and had to lay him off, because the 70ies Canadian glam band “Tease” has handed a complain. A tough knock for the band, they had big trouble to public their new name with a big label too. Unfortunately, “Roughhouse” got no push from CBS and so the band disappeared into the sea soon. “Teeze”, “Roughhouse” or however you want call the Americans, come from “Philadelphia” and were the scene band of this city together with “Britney Fox”, “Cinderella” and “Tangier”. They toured together with “Stryper”, “Kix”, “Britney Fox” and really had everything what a good sleaze band needs, till “Kurt Cobain” and his Seattle mob erased the scene. Well, I want talk about this disk, by the way, this one is very rare and dare not re-released again like the “Teeze” debut, the rights lay at “CBS”, naturaly they don’t stir a finger, when it isn’t about the money. The disk comprises eleven fantastic sleaze rock songs, the sound like the songwriting quality too has itself increased in comparion to the “Teeze” disk, every track is a real party screamer soon. The opener “Don’t go away” is a right earwing, the voice of “Luis” hat itself created very well, the guy sings really godlike. “Tonight” rocks like hell too, just cool party sound, I can’t say anything else. At “Teeze” there were no ballads, this has changed at “Roughhouse”, “Love is Pain” melt on the tongue, a song for dreaming. By the way with “Midnight Madness” is a new version of the “Teeze” classic on the disk, here I like the new version a little bit more. “Roughhouse” have taken away some dirt, but almost all songs have hit potential. Unfortunately, nothing has gone with the big carrer, the band only was cool and it makes me glad, that the Americans do sleaze rock today too and no trend shit. On the official homeapge, you could see the clip of “Tonite” next to the sound samples. Real sleazers can buy the “Teeze” disk too, t-shirts and a DVD, which I review in a short time. Fact, this album is pure dynamite!!!
