Bio:

The band was formed in 1985. They had one mini-LP "We Want Rock'n'Roll" and three albums, called "Born To Boogie" (1987), "Fasten Seatbelts" (1989) and "Unlimited" (1990).True Rock'n'Roll like in the good old days are TRANS AM, a Bonner band that is probably unique with their commitment and professionalism in Germany.

Album:

The Bonn-based hard rock band Trans Am first appeared in 1986 with a well-cultivated EP and followed it up the following year with the brilliant and also recommendable debut album "Born To Boogie". Many club gigs later, the second album "Fasten Seatbelts" was released, which was stylistically a little more metallic and therefore even more multifaceted in places. The singer had a charm all of his own. His voice was quite distinctive and had recognition value. The virtuosity on the guitars was amazing and also the rhythm section did a first class job. From all these traditional ingredients, the quintet cooked up their own delicious soup. The music fan didn't get an overproduced and polished major production, but a handmade and honest headbanger pearl in a coherent sound. But now to the songs included: The stomper "Around Midnight" immediately sets an exclamation mark. This is exactly how earthy and melodic hard'n'heavy music should sound. A cool groovy riff, catchy and straightforward vocals and the successful opener is finished. "Go Down Shootin'" then comes around the corner with a touch of AC/DC and a hint of Saxon, but without sounding entirely like either band; a thoroughly hard rock'n'roll track that is simply fun from front to back. With "Just A Dream" they have a dreamlike half ballad at the start. The whole thing is underpinned with beautiful guitar work, which gives me several goosebumps at once. Even Michael Schenker couldn't have done it better in his ballad songs. These melodic arcs are great cinema! With "Hot For Love", the pedal is pressed down hard. The speedy piece is stylistically almost out of the ordinary and can keep up with Accept's fastest tracks in terms of tempo. Very strong! Thrills In The Night" also sounds like German eighties metal. Similar Teutonic bands like Victory or Thunderhead are still mentioned from time to time, at least today, when one philosophises about this important decade in retrospect. Why this does not apply to Trans Am in any way is completely beyond me. The catchy tune "Miss Marple" contains a very memorable chorus. This quick-fire melody is still going through your head days later. With the title track "Fasten Seatbelts" they have recorded a spot-on number, which even almost three decades later doesn't seem a bit dusty; a timeless and razor-sharp piece of music. The song "Hard Enough" is a cleverly thought-out, unadorned metal crusher. The precise interplay between vocals and guitar here is simply impressive and complements each other phenomenally; a clever arrangement that provides enough space for all the instruments to unfold. "Now It's Your Turn" (with wildly galloping bass and electric guitars) sounds like an original mix of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden; very exciting song structure with a thoughtful middle section. Once again, the musicians' technical skills are on full display here. The last song, "Mother Earth", is a quieter, dreamy number. Harmonious and simply overwhelming, Trans Am end an album here, which has indeed set off an exquisite firework, but which nevertheless never received the attention it deserved, although this small masterpiece appeared with a simple, but one hundred percent accurate and memorable album cover.
