The Street is a hard rock band hailing from Salt Lake City, Utah. Their philosophy is simple: "If we stay true to writing the music that is within us and moves us, we can move the listener as well." "The Divine Debauchery" is their 6th full-length album so far, featuring strong US-style hard rock songs full of catchy melodies and big choruses but still with loads of heavy riffs and pounding rhythms. Mainly influenced by stadium rock bands like Motley Crue, Metallica, Van Halen, Bon Jovi and other epic rock bands they simply are following their rock roots. The Street easily fulfills their philosophy: this is great American melodic hard rock without the trappings of current trends. They simply rock!

I was completely captivated from the beginning by this great American band. At times I hear GnR at other times, well, they can be indefinable. The Street definitely rocks in their own style and they do not hold back one bit. They move easily between basic melodic hard rock in the beginning to more conventional modern American rock in the middle, particularly on 'Step It Up' and 'Nemesis,' and them move smoothly into classic melodic rock with metal nuances in the end. Great songs include 'Devil's Dilemma,' 'Vendetta's My Name, and 'One Man Battle,' a great acoustic prelude that introduces a sweeping melodic tune of epic proportions that echo the best of Velvet Revolver. B. Arnold is fine and expressive vocalist, full of emotion and intensity. Randy Vaughn and Chris Miller excel on guitar. Another track of superior merit is 'Walls,' the vocals and melody are superb and the guitars shred in electrical brilliance.

The Street certainly does not fall into the boring trends of current American hard rock. Yet when they delve into those current trends, they far exceed their peers. 'Head Or Be Dead' is a perfect example of this: classic blistering metalized rock with tones of modern American rock that far exceeds their contemporaries. This is excellent, hard driving, American melodic rock. 'A Voluntary Loss Of Innocence,' which closes the album, again demonstrates their brilliance.

There's a certain irony that I acquired this release of an American band from an European label. Why? Because The Street is a level beyond current American rock, far beyond a Nickelback for sure. Maybe they will only be appreciated in Europe, and that is freakin' shame. These guys are so very good. Americans, give The Street a listen, you will be overcome and impressed. Highly recommended!.

4.5 out of 5

OVERALL IMPRESSION. With a huge burst of energy, The Street thumps through the speakers with their self-titled CD. Troy Haun rips out some awesome crunching guitar riffs, supported by Nate Jackson on bass and Rob Lambros' steady if not spectacular drumming. B. Arnold's vocals are made for hard rock, and he handles the duties very well on the album. The high production quality of the CD makes it hard to believe that it was self-produced, and the songwriting is such that you would expect to hear some of the tracks on AOR radio stations. Of the radio-friendly songs on the album, "When Everything Good Is Gone" sounds the most accessible with a song structure similar to a Collective Soul standard. "Nothing There" has a great guitar riff running throughout the song, and was a great way to end the album on a good note. There are a few instances of minor foul language on the album, but it is the exception rather than the rule. Overall, The Street's self-title CD is an outstanding entry into the world of hard rock.

THE STREET ‘PROMO’
This is the 3rd CD of the Salt Lake City/Utah, USA based band THE STREET. They play honest 80’s
influenced, catchy, melodic hard rock that reminds me a lot of SHY TIGER and JOHNNY LIMA, if
anyone remembers those acts. They have the sound of a late 80’s California metal band, which is a good thing for sure, because we have missed such bands a lot lately. For the people who are not that familiar with mentioned acts, I can perhaps also mention they sound a bit like BON JOVI and WHITE LION. THE STREET’S sound also demonstrates an air of today’s popular nu-breed melodic pop-rock acts; think HAREM SCAREM meets BARENAKED LADIES). Anyway, only 4 songs are on the new CD, which
offers good clean fun up-tempo melodic rockers in the shape of “Damned if I do” and “Thump”, midtempo
melodic rock in “Grip”, (HAREM SCAREM having dinner with JOHNNY LIMA), catchy tune, also reminds me of the Brazilian band MONKEY BITE, but then get a bit too obscure I guess! And finally, a
good rock ballad titled “Say”. I also received another new demo of the band, which contains 2 songs. Each
of these songs once again combines modern and 80’s elements into an exciting melodic rock sound. THE STREET’S sound is radio-ready if you ask me. The song "Come Alive" and "Out of Mind", (very good strong mid-tempo AOR/melodic rockers, best songs of the band!), are the kind of catchy tunes BON JOVI forgot to write after ‘Keep the faith’. In conclusion, THE STREET is an absolute “must hear” if you’re
into classy 80s melodic hard rock with a slight modern approach.

United States is a huge country, so it is natural to have bands that are raw diamonds or sometimes hidden diamonds. I said hidden diamonds, because The Street has already four studio albums and "Evolution" is the only one that i have the
opportunity to hear it.

The band released it last year and believe me is a very good piece of music. The Street delivers through their album pure melodic hard rock in the vein of 80ies and with influences from some great
bands like Bon Jovi. The Street tries to have mainstream and catchy songs.

At least in some songs they have achieved this, you can hear once and you can remember songs like: "Say", "Damned if i Do", "Out of mind" and "Come alive".

For sure the band plays music that the American rock fans will love it and i believe also rest of the world will love the music from them.

They have all the components to release very good albums, with very good rock songs and of course rock ballads. Don't loose your time, go and buy their latest album, if you like the good hard rock.

THE STREET ‘THE STREET' (INDEPENDENT)

THE STREET is a band from Utah, USA and they have been together for about 15 years already. I reviewed a demo of them some time ago, but I was unaware that they already had done 4 CDs. Now they have a new CD out, their fifth album which they simply titled ‘The Street'. Musically we get to hear a good deal of classy 80s catchy Melodic Rock, which reminds me a bit of the HAREM SCAREM when they play real melodic rock. Actually this THE STREET album is very good, because songs like “Out of mind”, “Say” and “Nothing there” are very strong Melodic Rocksongs. Not many people are aware of this great band, but I definitely give them a big recommendation.

Grade: A

The Street bring a heavy and melodic mix of music on this self-titled release. In a sound that I would describe as new Metallica meets old Bon Jovi, The Street has a flair for coming up with some seriously contagious and catchy songs; not to mention some stellar guitar and bass riffs. “Thump,” “Grip”, “Hurt Me Good” display the talents of this group and are great tracks. Fans of Velvet Revolver, Y&T (yep, I just mentioned Y&T baby!), Nickelback, Hoobastank or fans of 70’s, 80’s and early 90’s rock should enjoy hitting The Street.
