You Can't Kill My Rock 'n Roll

You Can’t Kill My Rock ’n Roll makes Hardcore Superstar’s streetwise hard rock sound even tougher. Jocke Berg’s slightly ragged vocal, Silver’s cutting guitar and punk-derived straight-ahead beat keep the songs moving hard. The title track and “Have Mercy on Me” find large hooks inside the roughness. Glam-metal flash remains, but the sound never becomes too sweet. It feels like a record made by a long-running band turning its stubborn devotion to rock and roll directly into sound.
