Carousel - 2113 (2015)

Pittsburgh hard rock heroes Carousel storm back with their second LP, ''2113,'' a midnight binge-blur of muscular, dynamic R 'n' R, filled with timeless hooks and killer, scorching solos. Carousel is a band that knows how to capture your attention; the group has the unique ability to filter the music of their childhood heroes through a contemporary lens. On its sophomore LP, the four-piece unleashes charged-up rhythms and wicked dual-guitar harmonies that lay a strong foundation for the shining voice and catchy choruses of front man Dave Wheeler. ''2113'' is the ultimate night time driving music; a head-turning blend of Casablanca-era KISS and prime time Thin Lizzy with one foot in the past and the other firmly secured in the future!

''The double guitar attack of Thin Lizzy, the racing engine drive of Motorhead and the melodic majesty of Angel Witch and Diamond Head... Carousel leaps confidently in front of crowd, twin guitars flying'' - --Blurt

''a vice grip on the balls of '70s rock 'n' roll...with middle fingers shoved high in the air'' --Decibel
