Hank The Knife And The Jets represent the Austrian rock and roll underground of the 1990s, bringing raw energy and straight-ahead songwriting to a scene that could have easily disappeared into irony. Diamonds, released in 1994, is an accomplished rock album that doesn't overthink itself. "Stan The Gunman" and "Yesterday Star" show the band's knack for memorable hooks, while tracks like "I Don't Want My Liquor No More" deliver genuine grit without pretension. The production captures the band live and present, guitars cutting through with clarity. This is solid, unpretentious rock and roll from a time and place that didn't get much international attention. A genuine artifact of 90s European independent rock.
