Extreme Rocks with ‘Six’ – Always Steady and Unique

Extreme - rock band from Boston

Extreme seems to have it down. Write to be original- be descriptive, be professional and true to your sound. By the end of the Six press cycle, Nuno Bettencourt sounded a little weary of being told he’d saved rock’n’roll with his absurdly technical guitar solo on lead single “Rise.”

For sure, it’s one of the year’s most jaw-dropping instrumental moments, but the Bostonians’ sixth album is no one-trick pony, with the fiery strut of “Banshee” demanding kinetic energy from its listener and the glistening acoustic strum of ‘Small Town Beautiful’ conjuring a little of the angel-hair beauty of Pornograffitti’s More Than Words. 

Extreme has released the official music video for their song “Beautiful Girls.”. The video, co-directed by guitarist Nuno Bettencourt and Rene Rigal, celebrates diversity and beauty. The band shared that the video is dedicated to women of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds, honoring them worldwide.

“The album is jam-packed with everything Extreme is known for – riffs, vocals, harmonies, thumping rockers, gorgeous ballads and even a couple of oddball left turns.” – Ultimate Classic Rock

“Does it reach the heights of Pornograffitti, reach the lyrical depth of III Sides To Every Story, or the crushing creativity of Saudedes de Rock? The answer is a resounding YES!” – Heaven’s Metal

“It’s less funk out, more crunching, brightly produced hard rock, matched with some very cleverly arranged vocal parts, that veers between pop and metal but never sounds misplaced.” – Loudersound
