Ferrett Glamdemic CD Review

If you've got your leopard printed spandex pants, white Reebok hightops, battle vest, Randy Savage sunglasses and enough hair product to choke a seagull, then maybe, MAYBE you're ready for Ferrett! This New York scumbag glam metal outfit is guaranteed to steal the pills from your medicine cabinet and bang your girl before you can say "Whose cocaine is this?" 

I can't remember the last time I had so much fun with an album. Ferrett harness all the best elements of 80's glam metal and put their own furry spin on it. They remind me of Steel Panther in that they've got a great sense of humor and the chops to back it up. They've got some ass kicking party jams like "Let It All Hang Out (On a Saturday Night)", "Drinking Beers" and "Amateur Night" and the obligatory ballad with "It's Not Hard to Let Go", which is as good as any ballad Poison, Kix or Hanoi Rocks or bands of their ilk ever released. For real.

It's also pretty cool that they pay homage to 'Motel Hell' with "Farmer Vincent's Fritters" and frontman Beau Brent really brings out his Zetro-style vocals in this thrashy banger. The songs that best encapsulate the band's image and sound are "Don't Tell Jen" and the title track. The former telling of a litany of offenses such as doing drugs and banging whores that Jen definitely doesn't need to know about and the latter is about how grunge is dead as it fell victim to the Glamdemic. If you're into throwback 80's metal bands or the real deal, Ferrett will scratch that itch you're sure to have. 'Glamdemic' is fun and exciting from bell to bell and that album artwork is the cherry on the sundae!
