what Helloween singer Andi Deris does in his free time: Andi Deris and the Bad Bankers

Of course, this does not sound like Helloween at all. This album is called "Million Dollar Haircuts on Ten Cent Heads" and it's rock music, pure and simple. Like Guns n Roses with a political message about the greed of capitalists. Andy does the catchy vocal lines, as usual, but in this context the music is a bit of that bluesy, jammy rock that people call "hard rock" or "classic rock" or anything like. Somewhere between that and a bit of that vulgar grunge/punk feel, too. Rockers and ballads, obscene and sweet, it's all here.

As long as you like to check out all Andy Deris-related things and you like rock in the styles mentioned above, this album will be a cool little place to hear Mr. Deris explore his other musical instincts. The music is all over the place, not a particular style and it's no happy-guitar album, but the singing provides lots of melodies. I think we see that Andy prefers 70s and 80s rock music, from classic, punk, and glam to AOR and that's the range found on here.
