Charlie Cole + Cat City: Shit To Lose

Bendigo product Charlie Cole + Cat City is renowned around music circles for their high-octane style of rock that takes no prisoners and their latest album Shit To Lose is as good a representation of the band as you’re likely to find. It’s fast-paced. It’s balls-to- the-wall. It’s good old fashion rock and roll and we love it.
From the get go, first track ‘Come And Get It’ drops you in the deep end and gives you what’s on the package. Pulsating energy and unrelenting riffs are a hallmark of what Shit To Lose is all about and is highlighted by its title track which is a minute and half of short and sharp rock with Cole’s piercing vocals complimenting the track perfectly.
The evident high energy on offer reflects the band’s ominous stage presence that translates perfectly to the album in the wake of an obvious increase in production value accentuated by clean guitar riffs and crisp vocals.
Whether you are a returning fan or new to the wonder that is Charlie Cole + Cat City, Shit To Lose is an album that repeatedly hits you over the head in the best possible way. Get it, listen to it and you won’t regret it.
