David Karpel Hard to pick a favorite track when the entire album is an absolute joy to spin. Yeah, there's a lot of love for 70s grooves and glam here, and it's done with pinache, and that love comes through bright and shining, precious as a jewel. This album is my happy place. I can't say enough about it. A lot of fun in classic sounds played with a modern sensibility. One of my favorites of 2021. Favorite track: Hold on You.

TheEliteExtremophile This is a varied record that knows when to change things up, when to launch into the stratosphere, and when to dial things down a notch. Alpha Waves blends the fun of early ‘70s hard rock and glam rock with adventurous structures to make something quite unique and enjoyable.

Alex These young Californians must have read the ‘70s rock songbook meticulously, and even if they borrowed a T. REX riff (‘Bruiser!’), and paid homage to Glam titans The Sweet (‘King of the Street’), they have a strong songwriting that make this ten tracks album stand on its own. They are wise guys that learned from the greats to craft their own sound. Overall a killer album with some trippy jams where keyboards are used with intelligence. It’s not 1973, but it’s ‘Ballroom Blitz’ again.
Favorite track: Hold on You.

Freewheelin' 04:04
I hit the street to shoot some dice Cruising late on a Saturday night Stepping out on my own Freewheelin' the open road's my home Freewheelin' Fast cars and getting high wheels burnin' and I feel alright 'Bout time I carried on So it's back on the road where I belong Goin' fast speedin' till the boys get smokin' Am I turnin' you on my friend Raisin' lots of hell and making a commotion Am I turnin' you on my friend Tearin' down the house with the rockin' and a rollin' Am I turnin' you on my friend Comin' back tomorrow to do it all over freewheelin'Freewheelin’Goin' fast speedin' till the boys get smokin' Am I turnin' you on my friend Raisin' lots of hell and making a commotion Am I turnin' you on my friend Tearin' down the house with the rockin' and a rollin' Am I turnin' you on my friend Comin' back tomorrow to do it all over freewheelin' Party's over so it's time to roll Grab the wheel and hit the open roadFreewheelin’

Solid Ground 03:44
Never gonna give up On this peace of mind My feet have got some traction as I'm sailin' with the tide Get right into Doin' it for you Solid Ground Time to slow down Comin' in for a landin' But the planes out of control No time for a freak out so I try to keep it cool At times the sea is rocky Love can be the same I'm cool with what I get and try to ride the wave Get right into Doin' it for you Solid Ground Time to slow down Get right into Doin' it for you Solid Ground Time to slow down Solid Ground

Alpha Waves 07:50
Late one summer in our old home town We had a groovy thing but couldnt get the sound Suddenly a beam of light surrounded us He appeared and began to tell us A little bit about a thing we call rock and roll Spaced out super star Cosmic rock guitars And I’m beaming you way up high On a quadrophonic starship ride Just before we had to say goodbye The little man told us why he’d been so kind "I search all the stars around us For nightlife on a distant planet To teach the secrets of a thing you call rock and roll." Spaced out super star Cosmic rock guitars And he gave us the Alpha Waves On a quadrophonic starship ride

Hold on You 03:36
I know you're leavin' You say it all the time Lovin' me takes make believin' So it's my time to fly I've got a hold on you Don't say you need me I've heard it all before In the morning I'm leavin' baby So don't you ask for more I've got a hold on you

Star Power 05:05
If you wanna hit your mark Standing over the top And you’re somewhat supernatural With an electric guitar It’s that star power That’ll get you by If you wanna top the charts Before you pass like a storm While you look so cool and casual As you’re playing the part It’s that star power That’ll get you by Star Power

Bruiser! 03:54
Jackie B the lady knows she's alright Roller queen hot blooded steam machine On the scene lookin' for a cat fight She's gettin' mean you better stay out of sight Cross her path and you won't get too far Give her some lip and she'll want a little more She's kickin' ass and rollin' all night long so come on Bruiser! She's a Bruiser come on Razor teeth sharper than a snake bite Vicious thing with a little bit of dynamite The other girls say she's hell on wheels And the fellas say that her looks could kill She's livin' fast while gettin' it on so come on Down and dirty we can hardly stand the heat Jackie's mean the girl just can't be beat Can't cut her down no matter what you try One step and she'll black your eye She's kickin' ass and rollin' all night long so come onBruiser! She's a Bruiser come on

The Demon 03:59
I’m a cosmic dog of Satan I’m a slave to the beast And I’ve come to do the masters deed I am the dark one You cant run away Woman The Demon is my name Lady Woman I’m a knight to the lord of evil And I do as I please Tonight your realm belongs to me Now you’re my minion So heed my decree Woman your soul is what I need Lady Woman

Monday mornin’ Yawnin’ Draggin’ my books on the way to school Mamas been moanin‘ Papas been groanin’ ‘Bout my big bad attitude Teachers on me For actin’ onry Never minding her little rules But reading and writin’ Aint excitin’ Like smokin’ motors and speed Cruisin’ in my deuce on a Saturday night In the city lookin for a fight Hit the road and it’s boogie time Rock and Roll gets me high high high And my car aint never been beat Cause I’m the rock and rollin king of the street Rock and rollin‘ king of the street Friday evenin’ Sweepin’ Moppin’ up the floor at the corner store Lordy have mercy It’s about 5:30 time to cut it on outta here But as I’m clockin’ out The boss comes round sayin’ Son im gonna need you to stay I got rubber to burn Tires to turn As I’m tearin’ up the street Rollin’ in my deuce almost every night In the city lookin’ for a fight On the road til‘ the morning light Rock and roll gets me high high high And my car aint never been beat Cause I’m the rock and rollin king of the street Rock and rollin’ king of the street

In My Hands 06:44
You say you don't wanna put me down But I can't wait babe For September to come around You're packing up and now you're leavin' town If that's the way babe Then I aint gonna wait around Cause I can't hold on forever For love to come around and set me free Girl we aint gettin' no younger So just tell me that you're gonna leave And if this lovin' is ending Don't lay the burden all onto me Look at the finger that's pointin’ It's all in your hands Don't you put it in my hands Don't you lay it all on me If you're leavin' girl then set me free Don't you put it in my hands If something new is what you're after then Don't make me wait babe For you to make up your mind again Your eyes have always been lookin' round But what you see babe Never seems to make you settle down Cause once you get it you lose it Or do you just give it all away Is it some big secret It's all in your hands Don't you put it in my hands Don't you lay it all on me If you're leavin' girl then set me free Don't you put it in my hands
