Funk, Crossover, Red Hot Chilli Peppers – these words are sufficient to describe this Italian band roughly.
Easy listening with nothing spectacular to tell about. You find some ironic lyrics (Mariah for example) and lots of groovy rhythms that entertain you for the following 57 minutes and 33 seconds. Nothing more, nothing less. Unfortunately ATOMIC ANTS never reach the quality of the RHCP, so the music remains on a level "not quite outstanding".
Junior's voice (the singer) perfectly fits to the band and the style, yet this fact does not help to escape the swamp of boredom.
The Spandau Ballet cover of Through The Barricades does not fit at all to the album Keep Cool And Dry.
If you wish only to enlarge your collection of Funk/Crossover for a lazy Sunday afternoon, you can surely go and get Keep Cool And Dry.
