It looks like rockers Stretch have been out doing shows with hair metal veterans Warrant. That, plus the band’s sparkly logo (recalling British glitter legends the Sweet), might make one assume that Stretch is a bubblegum glam outfit. In fact, tunes such as “Firestarter” (not the Prodigy song) have a healthy crunch. Not quite industrial, but think Generation Swine-era Mötley Crüe. Mind you, “Flavortown” is blessed with the sort of chorus that Poison, Ratt, etc. would kill for. So glam, glitter and crunch, which is a heady brew. Ultimately, Stretch is a solid rock ‘n’ roll troupe with talent and enthusiasm galore. There’s a lot to enjoy.
