'Evil Twin' (available November 17, 2008 in the UK) is no ordinary 'second record' - packing a massive punch with raucous opener "Punko Rocco" (featuring Twisted Sister's Dee Snider!), it takes you on a sonic journey straight into the title track - involving ragga beats & tabla percussion before it smashes you in the guts with the lyric "You trouble trouble before trouble troubles you..."
GMT prove that with a basic 3-piece band, you can still do unheard of things - one minute it's a white-knuckle rollercoaster ride,with Robin doing his best 'Keith Moon' on "You Can't Hold Me", then next stop is an epic blues-based tale ("Perfumed Garden") invoking the Dartford Tunnel... There's even an ode to bassist John McCoy closing the album in true sing-a-long style - GMT prove they have the songs, style and humor.
Bernie: "Some of our most delicate playing has come out on this record, but at the same time, some of our most ferocious rocking too - it lulls you into a sense of security and then smashes your skull open!"
Robin: "There's the trademark GMT jams where we all got the most magical live take recorded (despite me still not knowing the songs...!)"
John: "I don't know how we do it, but in all the bands I've been in, this is the one where we just do it!"
So, whether you like the Bull-in-a-China-Shop approach, or the Softly-Softly-Catchy-Bull-in-a-China-Shop approach, GMT's aptly-titled 'Evil Twin' caters for all.
GMT rocks!
