Heavy, dark, deep, insightful, and maybe even a bit more "inciteful" than ever before: "Rattle The Cage" is The Rods at their incendiary best!Lyrically, they've taken a cue from David "Rock" Feinstein's cousin, Ronnie James Dio, with songs like "Now And Forever", "Cry Out Loud", "Play It Loud" as well as the title track, providing the listener with a similar sense of hope and resiliency in the face of an ever-changing world. Musically, the band is tighter than ever! Founding members David "Rock" Feinstein (vocals, guitars) and Carl Canedy (drums) are joined by new bassist Freddy Villano (Quiet Riot, Widowmaker), and the results are simply sublime. The songs are rhythmically tighter, yet more musically unbound, the grooves heavier, and the melodies more dynamic. Mixed and mastered by Chris Collier, "Rattle The Cage" benefits from his masterful, modern touch, providing it with the kind of sound that will simultaneously appeal to core fans as well as new generations of listeners!
