The famous twin brothers Matthew and Gunnar Nelson are back with their first new rock tune in several years, a fantastic cut called “Easy Money,” which features some of their darkest lyrics yet, singing about people who sell their souls for money. “There ain’t nothing easy ’bout easy money,” they sing. The song isn’t exactly metal but it’s certainly rock and that’s what I’ve always felt that they do best. I actually like the fact that they’re making rock music without going overboard and trying to make it heavy metal. Mind you, I liked it when they did heavier stuff on their albums Imaginator and The Silence is Broken but there’s something especially magical that happens when they make slightly less heavy pop-tinged rock ‘n’ roll music like they did on their albums Peace Out and Lightning Strikes Twice. And the good news is that Nelson have a new album called Amazing coming out on March 19th via Frontiers Records. To quote one of their classics, “I can hardly wait”!
