I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, My Satellite, from Red Hot Shame, and it's an interesting indie rocker. Opening with Liftoff, Red Hot Shame, led by Xeff Scolari on vocal and acoustic guitar has a cool power rocker feel not unlike the Pixies or the Breeders. Joined by Ryan Wilson on electric guitar, Spencer Kennedy on bass, keys and percussion, Steven Pitsenbarger on backing vocal, horns and percussion, James Terris on keys and bass and Rick Fugate on drums. Title track, My Satellite is a cool rocker with a spacy feel. With a flabby guitar rhythm and excellent vocal blending, as well as some cool keyboard effects, this is one of my favorite tracks on the release. Solitude is an interesting ballad with a really strong melody. Again Scolari and Pitsenbarger blended vocals really work nicely and the guitar work of Wilson really sets the track off nicely. Another solid rocker is Stranded with it's gritty guitar rake and catchy melody. It's loosely structured guitar soloing over it's tight guitar rhythm and rock style vocals really work well for the most radio style track on the release. Wrapping the release is Little Moon a moody track with a solid melody. Scolari is a strong songwriter with definite hooks in the past. Nice job.
