Rose Tattoo - Assault & Battery (1981) (2002)
Following a successful tour through UK and Europe that also included an appearance at Redding Festival in 1981, their second album 'Assault & Battery' reached #1 on the UK Heavy Metal Charts. It also produced 2 big singles 'Out Of This Place' and 'Manzil Madness'
I remember buying this on a cassette tape back in the early to mid 80's. I think I caught a video of theirs on MTV late at night one night. I've owned a few of their tapes and lp's. I have to say I never understood why this band didn't get more play time in the USA.
Assault & Battery is probably my favorite Tatt's record all the way through. They are an Austrlian band and at one time them and AC/DC were the two biggest hard rock bands in their country. I don't know what to say other then it's straight forward rock n roll with balls. Angry Anderson, while small in stature is a great front man that has great visual presence. His voice is raspy and I would say has the same appeal as Bon Scott, who sang origianlly for AC/DC. Pete Wells played slide guitar and he really gave this band a unique sound. I would say that Anderson and Wells were the focal points of this group.
I would recommend this album to anyone that is an early AC/DC fan or is looking to explore some of Rose Tatto's work...K. Johnson
