Bang

Another Me

Review by Gary Hill

Although I previously reviewed a book about Bang, I never actually heard them before, but apparently they were first around in the early 70s and were a doom metal band then. I think I can see that. This feels more like hard rock than metal to me, but I’m going to land it under metal because of the band’s history. This set works pretty well.

This review is available in book (paperback and hardcover) form in Music Street Journal: 2025  Volume2. More information and purchase links can be found at: garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2025.
Track by Track Review
Another Me

This drives in heavy and hard rocking. It eventually shifts to a more stripped back arrangement for the entrance of the vocals. There is a punky edge to that mellower segment. Thie opening title track really showcases a good mix between classic rock and a punky edge.

Broken Toys

While no big change, this has its charms. I really love the guitar solo section a lot.

Man Of God

I really like this one a lot. It has some cool riffing. It also has more of a mainstream hard rock vibe with a sense of drama and magic. It’s more of a melodic rocker, but it never forgets the rocker part of that title.

Clouds

This hard rocker has a raw angle and some cool hooks. It’s no big change, but it is a solid tune.

Two Angels

A meaty and classy tune, this has plenty of that classic rock meets punk edge to it.

Drone Pilot

Here we get another driving rocker that’s not a big change.

Tin Man

Meaner and edgier, this is definitely a standout track.

This Night

Garage band sounds merge with glam and more on this classy rocker.
