Strike Ten is—you guessed it—the tenth album from the Italian power trio Faz Waltz, picking up where last year’s Endless Beat left off. Loud and lean, that is. Frontman Faz La Rocca has written eleven new, punchy songs—25 minutes in total—that growl and rattle as if his life depended on it. Raw vocals, heartfelt piano melodies, and grooving rhythms convey a live, front-of-the-stage feel, with more subdued moments—crooning in Full Moon Serenade and Lonesome Me—making for a balanced listening experience. Good old rock ‘n’ roll powered by contemporary momentum.

Strike Ten—produced by Brown Barcella and Faz La Rocca—is out now digitally, on CD and vinyl LP, through Head Perfume Records and Melody Bunker.
