All hail the immortal Rock 'N' Roll!

Save your knees, there's no need to bow; only dance. For this revered entity has been humbled by its longetivity, and appreciates all who worship at its altar by gifting new generations of its followers with abilities to create the sounds of its youth.

In this day and age we have indeed been blessed by the Gods of Rock. For regardless of the mainstream attempts to damn the currents of this beloved genre, the guitars may never be exiled from the main streets, and as we roam throughout this new era of our civilization, the echoes of former decades linger on and tickle the ears and passions of new Rock 'N' Roll crusaders.

Here we have just one of the many collectives who are destined to carry on the traditions of the rocking 70's, and they go by the name of KOMODOR, a young French group of Psychedelic Rock disciplines who are here to spread the sentiments of bands like MC5, GRANDFUNK RAILROAD and many more, as the rock onto the scene with the self-titled mini album that is sure to grow in popularity.

With the current rise of bands in the likes of GRETA VAN FLEET and RIVAL SONS, it can be argued that KOMODOR could not have picked a better time to introduce the world to their brand of swinging, grooving, bell-bottomed  Rock 'N' Roll. As this modest record opens up its doors we are welcomed by the sound of fuzzy guitars and warping bass lines of the Motown-tinged "Still the Same" as it woos us with a feverish groove and gregarious crooning in the vein of EAGLES and early SKYNYRD.

We are then invited to "Join the Band" and witness KOMODOR channel the "Houses of the Holy" with the most amusing lead riff and soulful chorus that soon give way to primal rumbling of jungle drums and fiery soloing, before giving way to the follow-up offering "Nasty Habits", which could very well have been the sequel to THE ROLLING STONES "Live With Me" if it was penned and performed by FREE - a truly fantastic track. And as the record comes to a lamentable close, we are treated to the mystical acoustics of the intriguing "1984", an up-tempo locomotive that takes the listener on a ride through the curious lands of FLEETWOOD MAC and CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG.

For its four-song length, this EP is delectably masterful. The production is sheer perfection; managing to stay crispy clean whilst perfectly preserving the sound of the 70's. The musicianship is beyond compelling, as the band manage to dutifully and passionately capture the liberating essence of Classic Rock; and the assistance of the likes of Elin Larsson from the BLUES PILLS band, makes this an even more jubilant enterprise.

Overall - granted that KOMODOR are not reinventing the wheel, but they are riding it clean to the rim. "Komodor's" sound is all too familiar, and yet due to the passion and sincerity of its proprietors, it somehow manages to ring fresh even after so many years in the attic. This brief glimpse into the Rock sounds of the 70's is more than enough to reignite your love for the classics of that era and leave you yearning to hear more from its apostles.
