Welcome to THE STICKY FINGERS LTD, an Italian Rock band with one goal; to rock your socks off! Their debut, self-titled album really packs a punch, with some Blues influences here and there and the crunchy guitar tones which make this album even more Rock N Roll. They were originally entitled STICKY FINGERS back in 1996, when they were a three piece band. After a while they took a long hiatus till 2013 when they re-formed under the name THE STICKY FINGERS LTD. From the old line-up the guitarist & vocalist Lorenzo is still the main man in charge, the drummer Flash, who joined the band in 1999 is still rocking and rolling with his former band mates, and there are also the newcomers; Jaypee on bass, and Inch on guitar. So, after almost 18 years, it was about time THE STICKY FINGERS LTD released an album.

It's a pretty easy task to guess the band's overall sound from the name alone; well, that is if you're a STONES fan. One of THE ROLLING STONE's albums is named "Sticky Fingers" so you can safely suggest that this band is filled with a Classic Rock sound, damn right that is right. Although, the songs aren't all samey, given some sound more Southern Rock, some sound more Blues-Rock, and some sound Rock N Roll. Take track 5, "Jailhouse Tonight", it reminds me of "Bullfrog Blues", the version by RORY GALLAGHER, whereas track 2, "Sweet Delight" shows off the band's Southern Rock sound.

The guys know how to rock, they have very fine ideas of what sound they want, and given the different sounds throughout the album, you can tell there was some experimenting done on this album, and a big plus is the production is very good, especially for a first release, but they are an established band anyway.

If you're a fan of different types of Classic Rock N Roll, then I'm sure you'll enjoy this album. Although, the track which closes the album is an acoustic and sort-of psychedelic track called "It Ain't Over", which has Laura Mocali on vocals. It's an interesting song, and an interesting end to the album, but maybe they could've ended the album on "Standing on the Ruins of Your Life" and not include think that last track.

This is a great debut album; let's hope they can get to a more consistent sound but still include the amazing song writing and work that went into this album.
