Sweden’s NESTOR have released their 2nd album – Teenage Rebel. The band’s debut of 80s influenced hard rock/AOR is an easy favorite of the past few years, and Teenage Rebel offers another solid set and mixed bag of rockers, poppier tunes and ballads- like one of your favorite 80s bands might’ve done nearly 40 years ago! Musically and lyrically Teenage Rebel isn’t that far off from Kids In A Ghost Town. There’s the intro of news clips, video game, tv shows, and music – largely taken from the 80s, before the band kicks in to lead off anthem “Anthem”, which follows closely to the band debut single “On The Run”. From there on, it’s kinda more of the same as the debut – which is fine by me! The faster paced title track, pop rockers “Last To Know”, “Victorious”, and “Addicted To Your Love” are all easily likeable. There’s also a pair of ballads “The One That Got Away” and “Daughter” (the latter more reminiscent of “Tomorrow” from their first album). The album’s cover photo features a pair of kids staring at a bedroom wall covered in 80s posters, a pretty cool retro idea. A fun album for those wanting to re-call or re-live the 80s!
