Rocktopia: Cinder Road - 'Damage Control' - CD Review

A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Mike Newdeck: This one may have just passed everyone by as a result of Cinder Road being dropped by their record label and following their noses to Japan in support of their new found popularity there. Indeed although the album is available through iTunes and via the band's website, an official label backed release is only currently available in Japan. Miss this album at your peril as it was one of 2010's best offerings, even better than 2007's excellent 'Superhuman'. Produced by Scott Stevens of The Exies, 'Damage Control' has a tougher sound but doesn't skimp on melody; powerful opener 'The Worst Way' and the galloping 'Sex Addict' are hard hitting yet hooky, whilst 'Losing Ground', a soulful power ballad, contrive to illustrate the improved togetherness and songwriting of Mike Ruocco. http://ping.fm/5vD3r
