"Ever wonder what it would sound like if Kelly bell joined a metal band? I've got your answer.

Usually when I get a MySpace request from another band, I'll click on their page, see where they're from, listen to a few notes, hit the back button, choose yes or no and go about my business. I always have the intentions to listen later, but rarely do.

That is until today, when Charlotte rockers Wicked Jones invited me in and made me stop everything I was doing — pretty impressive one hour before deadline.

The band is tight and lead singer "G" D'Voldre switches between hardcore metal screams and soulful crooning impeccably. It's no wonder they got to play with Flyleaf.

"Charlotte, NC has a band to reckon with by the name of Wicked Jones. This four-piece band has just produced a explosive CD and every tune on it just plain jams. It is hard rock, metal and southern rock all wrapped up in a tight package just waiting to get out but it definitely has soul. If you can’t feel it you are dead.

This CD is full of one liners and sexual references but it is really entertaining. It does have the heavy industrial rock metal vocals that will tear your head off but it is more controlled than on most metal CD’s today. They mix it up with some cool rhythm and some funky bass by Jack Kitchen. Calvin “Manny” Carter does some masterful drum work on the whole CD. It is hard to place who their influences are but I guess you can take your pick. It all works.

“Supernatural Flesh” is the best one on the CD. It even hit number one on the MP3 charts. It seems that this girl has fooled the preacher man. The lyrics say it all “Virgin? Right. Only studying Sex after school”. This chicks parents don’t have a clue. The next cool tune is “Some Highway Head” and you can just guess what this is about. The moaning guitar really adds to this song and the singer, Gregoria “G” D’Voldre is just exceptional. “Sinister Love” is just wicked. The solo guitar on this song is bad ass and you really feel what Jason Sossoman is feeling.

If this is their first release I hate to see what else they will have down the road. This is a must in your collection and it is in my player every chance I need a head-nodding boost."

"Wicked Jones has a very bright future. The talented musicians is just the start.
The energy of the music will get your blood pumping and the catchy lyrics will stay with you long after the CD ends."

106.5 The End (WEND - Charlotte NC)



"This album may contain numerous lines and themes of provocative metaphors. These guys have either managed to incorporate what seems like an eclectic mix of genre influences or they’re musically confused. Either way, it works. Over-the-top lyrics full of sexual innuendos and witty one-liners, it’s entertaining, and just the right length. Raw ’70s and ’80s rock-and roll is definitely the heaviest influence on this album, but keep listening and you’ll see past the modern day Alice in Chains. Towards the end of one of the tracks, where one would assume to be a lull, it breaks out into a breakdown. I’m talking post-hardcore trend-of-today, metal vocals with a riff I haven’t heard since the last Everytime I Die release. Yet parts of the album contain notes that bring a little class and soul to the table. Do not mistake classy rock for classic rock: This is an album for the progressive-industrial experimental rock-and-roll-loving music enthusiasts of today."
