A band with "alcohol" in its name must know how to have fun like TANKARD. Unfortunately, this isn’t quite TANKARD. In fact, it’s not TANKARD at all. The only resemblance it bears to TANKARD is the alcohol theme. But there are plenty of other ways ALCOHOLIC FORCE can sound good. They sound a lot like KREATOR did on "Endless Pain", a heart-felt album, but one in which the musicians clearly have a lot to learn, but that hardly matters because if Thrash Metal taught us anything, it’s that you don’t have to be Yngwie Malmsteen to play well. www.myspace.com/alcoholicforce
