Review from www.away-team.com SR-71 drummer John Allen has decided to toss the sticks in someone else’s lap, grab a six-string and finally show his chops as a frontman in this killer new band that resembles Jet on an asphalt diet with a little Iggy Pop & The Stooges thrown in for extra salt! Forty Acres is every bit as relevant as bands like The White Stripes, The Hives, and the aforementioned Jet are today, but they have an appealing and very edgy punk tendency to them that makes them a bit more enjoyable for harder rockers like myself. The album kicks off with a soon-to-be Ipod classic, “Burn Baby Burn”. In less than three minutes, this song establishes the pace of where Broken Promise is headed; a road paved with nothing but an alcohol induced, sh*t-kicking, tire burning bar fight that would make Jack Nicholson piss his pants! It’s got songs about prostitutes (“Lil’ Girls) and even self-loathing (“Pour Me Another”), but more than anything else, it’s bringing back the raw, unbridled stuff that made music fun in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Joined by his SR-71 bandmate Pat DeMent on guitar as well as Steve Smeal and Eric Dixon on bass and drums respectively, John has forged a killer lineup from veteran talent that equals his brilliance as a songwriter and lead vocalist.
