REVIEW – Rock n’ roll revivalists DREW CAGLE & THE REPUTATION are set to release their powerhouse new album, Bad Attitude, on January 31, 2025. Blending bluesy grooves, fiery guitar riffs, and soaring vocals, Bad Attitude is a testament to the band’s ability to capture the raw energy of classic rock while injecting it with a fresh, modern edge.
The album opens with “All Figured Out,” a high-energy rocker with infectious hooks that will be stuck in your head for days. The title track, “Bad Attitude,” featuring guitar legend Tracii Guns, is a fist-pumping anthem, made for foot-stomping, sing-along moments. “If It’s Not Love” takes listeners on a nostalgic ride back to a simpler time, filled with heartfelt melodies and soulful musicianship.
“So Cold” cranks up the intensity with thunderous rhythms and a driving force that demands headbanging participation. “She Said” brings a more introspective moment, allowing listeners to close their eyes and drift along with its emotive melodies. “You Think You’ve Heard Everything?” delivers a blistering dose of classic hard rock, complete with screaming guitar solos and spine-tingling energy.
“Live Right” slows things down with a blues-infused rock n’ roll swagger, exuding confidence and grit. The album closes on a powerful note with “Wine Talkin’,” a heartfelt, slow-burning track that invites lighters in the air as its emotional weight fills the room.
With Bad Attitude, DREW CAGLE & THE REPUTATION have crafted an album that feels like a modern-day love letter to rock’s golden era, blending nostalgia with an undeniable energy that keeps things fresh and exciting. It’s a must-hear for fans of blues-infused hard rock and anthemic, soul-stirring melodies.
