\"NakedFans of monster rock act Lordi may be familiar with Naked Idol, the hard rock band featuring ex-Lordi bassist Magnum. For those new to either of these bands, Naked Idol are another fine addition to the prolific Finnish music scene, and although they have been together since 2006 and released a few singles, their debut Filthy Fairies<\/em> EP is a great introduction to what they have to offer.<\/p>\n

\u201cShattered\u201d has a dirty bass line from Magnum; which hits from the off before some grungy riffs from guitarist Anti turns the volume up to eleven. The drumming is especially hard from Jannis K., with Malcolm\u2019s rough and raspy vocals seemingly lost slightly underneath the vibrant instrumental- the only dampener on a good opening song.<\/p>\n

\u201cHungry (For You)\u201d finds the drums thrashing, the guitars chugging and with a brilliant melodic and catchy chorus, the song is a small nod in the direction of Euro-glam rock (if there is such a thing), and it\u2019s a song you could imagine fellow Finns Reckless Love performing with the same panache.<\/p>\n

\u201cFilthy Fairies\u201d features Mr. Lordi himself, as he takes the main vocal lead with the backing coming from Malcolm. There is a slightly stoner rock feel to the song with the dirty guitar tones, and it\u2019s another high point on a good album.<\/p>\n

\u201cJane\u201d is a good ballad with a strong vocal range. The guitar solos from Anti are 80s\u2019 style perfection, and makes the song the standout track on the EP.<\/p>\n

Closer \u201cDevil Ridin\u2019 Shotgun\u201d picks the pace up again, with a raucous number full of thunderous guitar, bass and drum work.<\/p>\n

Filthy Fairies<\/em> is a great introduction to Naked Idol. Here is five songs that flow well and give the listener a little insight into the various styles of rock that this band has to offer. <\/p>\n

They are also another band to add to an impressive list of Finnish exports, and it won\u2019t be long before Naked Idol go global.<\/p>\n
