‘Whatever Gets You Off’, The Last Vegas’ major label debut is a testament to its name. It’s all for you. The veneer, the bite, the words and the way.

Everything they do, everything they play, it’s designed simply to get your rocks off. Or rather, get your rock on. And it succeeds.

The music wears its influences on its sleeve – in fact, it is not much more than its influences: AC/DC, Motley Crue, Aerosmith, the usual crowd. …what is has done is mixed up its progenitors’ sounds and style, streamlined it, and formulated it into an album’s worth of very high class-low class rock songs. The most impressive thing about the album is its consistency.

There is not a single bad song, as you would expect to hear by a relatively new name (now with Nikki Sixx’s endorsement) to the sleaze scene. You might expect a decent, solid-more-often-than-not selection, but instead you get some genuinely encouraging bona-fide balls-out rock and roll and sunset streetglam, one of the most promising new wave of sleaze albums in the last few years.
