GENERATION LANDSLIDE – Ruling The Street Scene

Melodic Metal from Las Vegas quartet. This is their debut album set to be released November 25th, 2022.

Generation Landslide

Anthony White, lead vocalist for Generation Landslide, is the driving force behind their first album, Ruling the Street Scene. After gathering some of his old bandmates and friends together, Anthony White decided it was time to bring to life an idea that he had in his head for the better part of two decades and create their debut album. “Year after year and from one band to another, I always felt like I was at the mercy of other peoples’ ideas,” White states. “So, for a long time I kept thinking that one day I would be able to have a band and play the kind of music I heard in my head.”

Ruling the Street Scene

The intro track for Ruling the Street Scene, “Little Miss Lonely,” kicks off this album with a great start. Vocals are clean and easy to listen to. This song is the very definition of ‘80s Melodic Rock with White’s voice and the screaming guitars. The second song on the album, their first single released, “Feel the Sensation,” keeps up the same speed with the guitars, but the whole crew gets in on singing duties for this song, making it a little anthemic in a way.

Another great song on this album that deserves a little attention is “Are You Out There?” because it is a tribute to Thin Lizzy bassist Phyl Lynott. Even the was this song starts off has a Thin Lizzy feel that Generation Landslide captures pretty well. The catchy chorus and beat will get you into this album is the previous five songs didn’t do it.

Overall this record was put together flawlessly from a production standpoint. Vocals are clean, and the guitar work sounds impeccable as well, which is saying quite a bit because Anthony White was previously a drummer in his past life. You wouldn’t be able to tell that based on how well he adapted to being the frontman of the band and not sitting behind the kit anymore. Give this record a listen and it will definitely grow on you over time, if not instantly.
