Another band that got neglected… too bad these guys can rock with the best of them. Great whiskey drinking music….

This was Finland’s best band after Hanoi Rocks…This is their best of the three records….

This one of the best hard rock bands from Finland.(the vocalist is not from Finland?). This CD has quickly become 1 of my faves. Hard rock from Finland that includes a few blues influenced songs, some straight ahead hard rockers & a few tunes like the opener “Out of Bounds” that could be considered “hair band anthems”. Singers voice reminds me of Paul Stanley quite a bit at times here. My faves are “Out of Bounds”, “Rain”, “Done Doin’ You Right” & “Party Party”.
Gringos locos means in Spanish “Crazy immigrants”. Gringos is a word used in other times for the English speaking people who came to Latin America, it comes from the words “green” and “grass”.

Wonderful album!.. quite liked it!…especially because it has hints of the old Uriah Heep, Magnum, Grand Prix and Whitesnake stuff…”Out Of Bounds” opens the album, it rocks! “Straight To Your Heart” & “Living On Borrowed Time” both have that “vintage sound” remarkably…”Rain” nice,”Livin’ In Your Lovin’ Light” is a high “light”, “Punch Drunk” & “Tunnel Vision” both catchy numbers, “Done Doin’ You Right” is another highlight number, “Jean Jinx Jane” has a lovely funky feel, “Party Party” rocks rocks “Guitarslingers Blues” a nice blues track and the live bonus “Mean Rock n’ Roller” says it all…we are mean rockers!!!…yeah!…if u wanna something different from the land of Hanoi Rocks then try Gringos Locos! 98/100
