About LYIN RAMPANT

Glasgow born guitarist and vocalist Stewartie Adams came back home to Scotland after leaving London rockers TYTAN and teamed up with ex HEAVY PETTIN guitarist Eddie Trainer, drummer Tam Creamer and Edinburgh born bass player Georgie Pringle, to form LYIN' RAMPANT, they later added keyboard player Paul Stephens also from Edinburgh, The band eventually split up in 1991 due to the unfortunate demise of Prism records and a number of line up changes...
LYIN'RAMPANT : "Up and Cumin" (Volatile/Prism VT1) Every feminist instinct I possess demands that I denounce this heavy metal artifact for the unmitigated load of sexist crap,etcetera,ad infinitum,but I find that I cannot,if only because the accompanying press release commences,"The story of Lyin'Rampant unfolds in 1983,when walking distillery Stewartie Adams returned North of the border,"and proceeds to describe each member in similarly flattering terms."The Lyin' goes from strength to strength (when it can stand up that is),"it concludes.Redeemed by their publicist's sence of humour? Well to an extent! The material a lite-metal amalgam of Rush,Journey and REO Speedwagon,is,to this listener,indistinguishable from much of the music of its genre.The rockers and the requisite slow ones are hear,and bear at least some resemblance to their equivalents on many other metal LP,s.However leave us not forget Stewartie Adams,self-styled walking distillery and one of the best new HM singers I've heard in ages,His vocals make this album worth a listen, at the very least.............
