ALBUM REVIEW: THE TREATMENT-WAKE UP THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

  Words by Anselm Cambridge is best known in England for boat races and universities but you can now add The Treatment to that list. The quintet returns with their highly-anticipated sixth studio effort entitled Wake Up the Neighbourhood  via Frontiers Music SRL. I have been a fan of this group for a while, ever since the release of their album 'Power Crazy' in 2019. They are part of the NWOCR genre, which includes other bands such as Thundermother, Massive Wagons, The Lazys, and many more. These bands typically produce defiant and anthemic rock tracks with influences from legendary bands like AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, and Led Zeppelin. If you're familiar with this genre, you can expect more of the same from The Treatment's newest release. The group was formed in 2008 and has released five albums so far. Their debut album 'Running With the Dogs' in 2014 served as a prelude to their future music. They have cited Def Leppard, Thin Lizzy , and AC/DC as their influences...
