Introducing his solo album, aptly titled "Viva La Rock," Marco Mendoza, the bassist of THE DEAD DAISIES and former member of THIN LIZZY, WHITESNAKE, and NEAL SCHON, delivers a powerful hard rock experience. The title truly encapsulates the essence of the music within. Mendoza exudes rock in every note, and this is vividly felt in his compositions. The sound is straightforward and unembellished, with Marco's vocals infused with a raw energy and unique feeling that he masterfully captures in the studio. While this album may not cater to fans of progressive, nu, or death metal, it will undoubtedly satisfy any true rock enthusiast—the kind that resonates with the scent of beer and sweat, not the polished pop of BB BRUNES. It's refreshing to see an artist dedicated to keeping this vibrant music alive, whether in a solo venture or alongside his bandmates in THE DEAD DAISIES.
