Get your Nukl-deep into Classic Metal!

  Nukldeep, a relatively new-on-the-scene rock group that takes you back in time with their classic 80's sound yet with original tracks, played their third live show at The Highlife Friday the 12th.

     Ron Blair rocked it impressively from the start with a tight bass, giving some funky style one song and a hard heavy twang the next that flowed throughout the music with upbeat flicks. The guitar solos (Butch Espanol) were also energizing in their classic rock style mixed with newer hard rock sounds.

     Percussionist Fred Wilkins simple but solid, giving that classic sounding boom, picking up the pace for faster songs, though repetitive and predictable. The vocalist (George Galvin), though involved and looking the part, has a typical rock singing style and would help if he worked on varying his range, and deepening his tone.

     The groups entire musical arrangements remind you of music from earlier generations; the musical layout could use more structure and vision in order to deliver a more diverse sound that would appeal to rockers who want something new. Blues touch on one track in appealing resound and metal inflicts another, yet aren't memorable or captivating in either direction, enjoyable enough yet leaving the listener feeling something more should be coming.

     The music is great for old style rock and roll with a metal edge, and is worthy to be heard. Nukldeep has great potential and dedication and with ingenuity, ambition and imagination could become a reckoning force on the local playing field of hard rock. So get your horns up and make sure to check them out next they play in town!
