They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. In the case of Rhino Bucket that could almost be true, with their uncompromising brand of riff-rock making them a close second cousin to Bon Scott era AC/DC. Not that they are mere impersonators of the great Australian rockers, far from it. For Rhino Bucket it's all about the cut and thrust of rock at it's most ferocious and untamed. Formed in Los Angeles during the closing years of the 1980s, Rhino Bucket stuck out like a sore thumb by daring to ignore makeup and hairspray, adopting instead a rough-hewn look and approach, a style that set them apart from the baying hordes looking to out glam each other. This was a band content to steer clear of the usual clichs and focus instead on killer riffs and uncompromising energy. Produced by Daniel Rey (Ramones, Circus Of Power, Raging Slab) and signed to Warner Brothers Records, this, their debut album, was issued in 1990 to a great reaction from the rock fraternity. Sure, the AC/DC comparisons might, to an extent, have been justified but the band's relentless attack and pummelling riffs injected a fresh take on a tried and tested formula. With songs such as One Night Stand, Train Ride and Ride The Rhino they take no prisoners, leaving all of their competition in the dust.
