Remember those old Skid Row records, which always sounded like twenty Sebastian Bachs were sharing the mic? Boston's Bang Camaro ate that shit up — so much so that the band hired every lion-throated singer who auditioned. But its use of twenty-plus lead singers to belt out old-school hair-metal numbers is more than just a great gimmick. With songs that could have been hits for Damn Yankees or Mr. Big, three flying-axe lead guitarists and song titles such as "Can't Stop the Night," it's easy to see why this tongue-in-cheek collective is quickly earning its spandex stripes.
