“The songs keep flowing and the level of quality is high making it the best record Lesli has made thus far in his career. This is a record the band should be proud of stacked with honest rockers n chart toppers”

“This Punk infused Gothic Rock album is mixed with scything riffs and gentle acoustic guitar, which makes you sit up and take notice!”

“If you love bands like The Dogs D’Amour then Prophets of Addiction always had elements of that classic sound but you know what I think that this time round Lesli has pulled one out of the hat and as they say in certain parts of the world ‘played a blinder’. This is his and the bands greatest moment to date. Wonderful.”

“Everyone on the album is accomplished in every manner possible and Sanders brings it all together with his vocals and his incredible lyrical approach. There’s not a tune on the album that I don’t relate to personally, which makes it even more enjoyable – I’ve lived a bunch of these songs. See the track “Last one in the Bar”. This is a sleeper album and had it came out earlier in the year it would’ve made its way into my top ten of 2024. I can’t stress how much you need to pick this album up.”

“PROPHETS OF ADDICTION are one of the last purveyors of sleaze rock’n’roll in a world where eveything is too polished. The album ends with “Take Me To Your Leader”, a heavy rock’n’roll songs asking “Where are the dreamers? Where are the stars?” Well, some of them probably made this album!”

“Listening to Face The Music immediately reminds me of my first acquaintance with Backstreet Girls; also such a heavily underrated band that I personally can appreciate very much. Musically this is quite different; very little Chuck Berry and much more 69 Eyes, or maybe even a bit Alice Cooper, if you know what I mean. It's the vibe; that feeling of "rock 'n' roll with conviction and fun" that can jump over to the listener, while it is not very exaggeratedly happy music.”

“In summary, this was an album I grew into. At first I was fine with it, but it wasn’t grabbing me. But by the time I reached “Walk the World,” I was happy, and by the time I got to “I Want You to Know,” I was really pleased to be listening to the album. If you like bands like Poison, Cinderella and so forth; if you like a band who struts their stuff with solid musical craftsmanship and songwriting, then this one will be for you.”

“Face The Music, the new album from Prophets of Addiction, is an interesting addition to this year’s field of new independent and rock albums. It is a record that will appeal to many guitar rock purists, thanks in large part to its featured musical arrangements. The album’s lyrical themes are slightly more diverse, touching on social matters, personal relationships, personal life experiences and more. The record’s production puts the finishing touch to its presentation, ensuring a positive listening experience through the time and effort put into balancing each musician’s performance. Each item examined here is important in its own way to the whole of Face The Music.”

“It's 70s glam/punk music with a modern spin, both production-wise and talent-wise, raw guitars, bouncing rhythms and lyrics that often actually mean something. It's never as slick or as poppy as Idol's stuff but it grabs you by throat just the same, maybe even more tightly, as the production here makes the music more intimate and easier to relate to. This isn't Prophets of Addiction's first rodeo. The band has several previous albums out there and "Face the Music" did just what it's supposed to—I'm going to start hunting those other records out now.”

“Lesli Sanders pulls a remarkable performance out of his sandpapered word hole, whilst the arrangement that backs him is pure, exquisite nostalgia, distilled for maximum taste and guaranteed to send your pleasure receptors into the red if you’ve ever donned a pair of cowboy boots and a dustcoat in the name of rock n’roll…”

“So if, like me, you are a huge fan of the Dogs D’Amour / Erotics / Quireboys style of sleazy story-telling, then you will find this fine selection of songs from the underbelly of life, absolutely essential.”

“Prophets of Addiction turned in a tight performance, as “Babylon Boulevard” coaxed fans to push their way up front.”

“Songs such as “Reunite the Sinners” (surely not about the Zeros) are catchy, brilliantly written and performed, and genuinely exciting. There’s nothing dated about these guys, despite their callbacks to sleaze-punks such as Faster Pussycat and the New York Dolls.”

“An album that really draws you in and has you asking what each part of each lyric could mean as it isn't spelt out to you literally. Massive kudos to Phil Soussan for a grand job of mixing and engineering this magnificent acoustic masterpiece. A real indication of what to expect live from Prophets of Addiction if you happen to catch them live during an unplugged moment. Here's to another outing of this nature if this is anything to go by. You will be spinning this album several times since it's very addictive to the ears. 10/10”

"Nothing But The Truth by Prophets Of Addiction is a wickedly mind blowing experience! Prophets Of Addiction has once again found the cure for the mundane, and their vibrant acoustic tapestries are the sonic prescription you’ll want to indulge in time and again."

“So, what we have here is an acoustic rock album. And they are doing it very good. This is a very strong and naked album with 10 great songs. If you like the acoustic side of "GN'R Lies", then this is the perfect album for you.”

“Lesli Sanders and Glenn Gilbert do a good job presenting music with meaning that hits home with others who lived the Hollywood musician’s life. Sanders has walked among the Gods of the Sunset Strip, and his storied history makes for great story telling music.”

“Imagine Guns ‘n’ Roses releasing an album full of “Used to Love Her” and you get the picture.”

“Though the distorted guitars and driving up front attitude might not be the focus of this album, the essence of rock and roll is still VERY much alive with this new record.”

“NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH must be listened to from beginning to end, without skipping any tracks. It 'sa record that certainly deserves a place of honor among the various acoustic albums released in recent years and I strongly recommend it to those who enjoyed the solo works of John Corabi, Mike Tramp, Izzy Stradlin and Tom Keifer. "... I've been through hell in the city of Angels ...", sit back and relax, Lesli has so much to tell.”

"The thing about this record, as they are a punky glammy band, but this record has all the elements of a good folk album. Storytelling songs with wonderful, simple melodies. Holy shit. This whole record is honestly astonishing. For hard rock fans and Americana fans alike. Beautiful record."

“After this album, any mascara-smeared theatrics will feel shallow, although the band seem bold enough to take any risk now: that’s the true heroism.”

“Some people say that a good song must sound great when played acoustic, and this is the case with “Babylon Boulevard” that you can also hear on the band’s first album. The whole vibe also sometimes brings GUNS N’ ROSES “Lies” acoustic side, or The ROLLING STONES to mind.”

“‘Nothing But The Truth’ is Hollywood glam punk at it's best that is deep and talks about the life Lesli (or any rock star during that time) lived or perhaps dreamed to live. The album is raw, yet fun, heartfelt, and there’s something about the unplugged version that makes it so intimate.”

“I very much enjoyed this record. Acoustic records can often be judged unfairly but the musicianship is very clear and delivers that rock and roll feel. It is in no way lost in translation. Lesli’s vocal tone has always been unique and a trademark to the sound of Prophets Of Addiction and his partnership with G.G. makes for a terrific listening experience.”

"This time they have a new label – HighVolMusic and ten songs that are given the acoustic treatment in their own inimitable raw, dirty and ragged way – so if you like the music of Hanoi Rocks, Guns N Roses, Dogs D’Amour, Lords of the New Church, Dead Boys or Ramones you’ll probably find something rather cool in this mix.

“With a lyrical insight and playfulness that would draw comparison with UK counterparts such as Ginger Wildheart, Ricky Warwick or Tyla J Pallas, Sanders reaches deep into the soul of the listener and embraces them with his experiences, delivering his message of hope through the despair.”

“Ever felt like a band truly had the misfortune of being dropped into the wrong musical era? You listen to an album and know that there would have been a much higher chance of commercial success for the band. All that said, it can be pretty awesome as a fan as we feel like we have this cool secret band that others would not understand, and you meet some really cool people along the way because they are also awesome enough to get “it.” Prophets of Addiction strike me as a great example of this as I listen to this acoustic-based album and know that some people would be totally put off by this album but then those same people probably don’t get Johnny Thunders either so I wonder about them anyway…. As Lesli Sanders and Glenn Gilbert have travelled across this world recently playing acoustic sets, this album provides an awesome studio souvenir of these shows.”

“There’s a special kind of magic that happens when musicians loved for their heavy rock sound take things down a notch, unplug and present their songs in a whole new way. For those who dig that unplugged sound, a must-hear is the brand new Prophets of Addiction release “Nothing but the Truth,” due for release Oct. 26 on HighVolMusic. Band founder and frontman Lesli Sanders has really outdone himself on this recording, his genuine talent for lyrics and melody showcased in each and every song.”

“The last track, “Return the Smile” is simply amazing in its suffering atmosphere, another proof, as long as it is needed, of how deep and intense “Nothing but the Truth” is.”

“I always like when bands try to go back to the roots. What if GUNS N ROSES continued their path to self destruction? What if they didn’t do that covers albums or that monumental fail ‘’Chinese Democracy’’? What if they decided to keep the train rolling after ‘’Appetite for Destruction’’ and both ‘’Use Your Illusion’’. I think PROPHETS OF ADDICTION had that mindset before recording this pretty good album. They are a mix of traditional Glam Rock with a touch of punk rock attitude (reminded me a lot of early RAMONES actually).”

“If you were ticking the ‘what makes great rock and roll’ boxes then on my scorecard Prophets Of Addiction uses up a lot of ink – it is almost as if The Sunset Strip DNA has been blended with the finest strains from the East Coast (The Ramones, the Dead Boys); the UK (Lords of the New Church, Kill City Dragons, The Dogs D’Amour) and Scandinavia (Hanoi Rocks, Backyard Babies) and topped up with vodka. There’s a definite place in any dirty rock collection for The Prophets.”

“Call it “glam”, call it “sleaze” or just call it “rock”; whatever you want to label the genre, Prophets of Addiction have it mastered.”

“(Translated) THE PROPHETS OF ADDICTION are supposed to be the next big thing from the genre of sleaze rock. With her album "Reunite The Sinners" they want to fill the gap left behind by Mötley Crüe. These will mix the sound of bands like GUNS'N'ROSES, the RAMONES, HANOI ROCKS and just MÖTLEY CRÜE and also when the grapes hang of course very high, can not be denied the quartet certain qualities. Catchy numbers that are always presented with a certain punk attitude and me to the BATES (if anyone knows) remember almost a bit with it. These have the songs, actually some hit potential and should not be completely uninteresting for the radio. Anyone tracks like "Last Of The Words", "Letters From The Grave" or my personal favorite "Kings And Queens" belonged, is there agree sure. Conclusion: Whether THE PROPHETS OF ADDICTION will actually create the very big breakthrough tell. The potential have the guys with their blend of catchy melodies and snotty punk attitude definitely.”

“Four years after the debut of " Babylon Boulevard " hark back alive The Prophets Of Addiction with this back as a record titled " Reunite The Sinners ". The band led by former bassist Pretty Boy Floyd Lesli Sanders incorporates the onset stylistic coordinates, one sleaze rock of yesteryear, smoky and alcohol at the right point and takes us with these ten compositions in the suburbs of the suburbs of the decadent and infamous large American cities, where still lingers the spirit of Johnny Thunders , of Stiv Bators and the Ramones . This " Reunite The Sinners " can be criticized because it does not invent anything new, or because it is based on the usual corny cliché, but he does great with pieces by the great fire and the impact immediate. The fact is that the desire to press play again becomes almost uncontrollable, and this is already success rate.”

“PROPHETS OF ADDICTION would certainly on a par with bands like Faster Pussycat, Hanoi Rocks, Dead Boys, New York Dolls or The Dogs D'Amour”

“(Translated) All in all, we are dealing with a great hard rock album by experienced musicians whose routine is heard in every single note played. For me, who grew up with such bands like GNR, L.A. GUNS etc., the album has something pleasant from time travel. I'd like to just watch the whole thing live.”

“Think Sunset Strip bands can't do variety? Think again. Prophets Of Addiction have put a spin on the genre and come up with something genuinely different, blending elements of punk and goth to come up with something unexpected. Give it a spin you might just be surprised.”

“(TRANSLATED) The PROPHETS OF ADDICTION offer to "Reunite The Sinners" nothing unusual. But their casual mix of tried and true sounds of the seventies and eighties has quite charm. As party sound sure one or the other song is perfect, more do not want the guys certainly achieve. Beautiful drive.”

“While "Kings and Queens" begins, I must immediately think of "Space Oddity" by David Bowie. In the verses that include the vocal lines have something of way, but in the chorus the band sounds again as Prophets of Addiction. The track features a guest solo by CC DeVille (Poison). Surprising number one glam rock band.”

“To be honest I was looking forward to reviewing "Reunite The Sinners" but dreading it at the same time; 'just another sleazy revival'. I was seriously wrong. VERY Recommended”

"Perfect Sound"

“REUNITE THE SINNERS: "it's everything so-called Glam bands aren't and it's what sets these cats aside. There is more going on here than the image might suggest; there is dirt under those finger tips and a wider appreciation of Rock And Roll is on display. 'Heart Of Mine' uses synth strings and has more than a nod towards something the Manic Street Preachers might have delivered around the 'Gold Against The Soul' period and Sanders' voice is so distinctive it certainly adds another dimension and this is catchy enough to reach out to a much wider commercial audience.”

“A very strong album within the genre with not a lot to complain about.”

“These cats have taken the best of NYC’s sleaze-punk days (Johnny Thunders, The Throbs, Circus Of Power) and the best of the early glam-sleaze days (Hanoi Rocks, Dogs D’Amour, Sea Hags), and slammed them together with the force of a hundred freight trains. There’s no studio trickery here, either; these are raw recordings that sound gloriously like the band playing live on the best night of their lives.”

“Don't let their glitter image fool you, for this bunch join the dots between ALICE COOPER and THE RAMONES”

“To be honest, I was looking forward to reviewing this band but dreading it at thesame time. I have heard so many great things about them and didn't want to be disappointed, well I can definitely say I wasn't. From the opening song 'Hang Me Up' I was hooked.”

“Definitely worth seeking out, if you remember what individuality, liberty, rebellion, and FUN felt like. Epic. Gnarly.”

“They've made a big, old fashioned-sounding, sleaze-metal, silvery-pizza, that summons back the snarling ghosts of both, "Liven Like A @&* Suicide" and "Too Fast For Love.””

““Babylon Boulevard is one of the best debut for a long time in this genre”9 out of 10.”

““This is possibly the best album of its genre for many a moon - if only Guns N' Roses still made records like this the world would be a better place.” www.uberrock.co.uk”

“Every once in a great – and blessed – while, a band comes along that encapsulates everything that’s great about rock-n-roll. The Prophets of Addiction is that band. These guys are so authentic and such masters at what they do that it’s like some mad scientist extracted the pure essence from their genre – Mötley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses, The Ramones, Hanoi Rocks, LA Guns, Lords of the New Church and all the best glam/punk bands – and gave rise to The Prophets of Addiction. With songs that will play in your head long after the CD stops and looks that kill, The Prophets of Addiction are the total package. It’s been way too long for a band like POA to come to us lovers of metal, mascara and musical mayhem. Their debut album “Babylon Boulevard” brings back those freewheeling, whiskey soaked, halcyon days (nights, really) when the Sunset Strip hosted countless punk/metal mash-up bands looking to hit the big time – and, of course, all the girls, girls, girls they could get.”

“New outfit from the ex-Pretty Boy Floyd bassist, Lesli Sanders who also fronts the Prophets' too. It's straight up sleazey glam stuff that fits fits somewhere between New York Dolls, Hanoi Rocks and Dogs D'Amour at times. Highlights include the opening 'Hang Me Up that sets the scene of the sound and style of whats to come, the kicking 'Kick It In' (sorry couldn't resist that), the excellent countrylike that starts up acoustic 'Mistress Addiction and the closing power ballad 'Where R U Now'. This material really flows well and easily matches if not exceeds that from the previous band I heard of his called 'City Girls Boys' a good few years ago. 8/10 By Glenn Milligan metaliville.com”

“This is Lesli Sanders (QUEENY BLAST POP, CITY GIRLS' BOYS, etc.)' new band so I was quite curious to listen to it. 10 street glam songs with vocals that you will enjoy if you like bands like the NEW YORK DOLLS, FASTER PUSSYCAT or The THROBS. Sounds quite cool, right? The PROPHETS OF ADDICTION may have their feet in the gutter but they don't forget about the melody in their choruses ("Alter Of Altercation","Still Alive","Where RU Now") and even add a bit of new wave/dark wave kind of keyboards to emphasize them. "Self Portrait" or "Babylon Boulevard" and their tragic rock'n'roll feel will be some of your favourites on here if you worship early HANOI ROCKS and the LORDS OF THE NEW CHURCH like I do! You'll also find a bit of DOGS D'AMOUR especially in wistful ballad "Mistress Addiction". You now probably understood that the PROPHETS OF ADDICTION have great tastes and put them together in order to bring you this killer debut album. So don't miss it!/Laurent.”
