All Lights On is the second studio album by the Swedish sleaze metal/hard rock band Smoking Snakes, released on July 10, 2026, via Frontiers Records. Spanning roughly 35–40 minutes and featuring 12 tracks, the record solidifies the Gothenburg-based band's sound—inspired by 1980s hard rock and glam/sleaze metal—characterized by attitude, catchy melodies, heavy riffs, and raw energy.
Smoking Snakes emerged in 2022 and quickly gained prominence with their debut album, Danger Zone (2024), also released by Frontiers. The lineup consists of Brett Martin (guitar and lead vocals), Rob Raw (lead guitar), Andy Delarge (bass and backing vocals), and Mackey Gee (drums). The album was produced by Jack Ström. The band is known for energetic live shows and a natural evolution, maintaining its sleaze roots while gaining confidence and maturity.
The sound recalls bands such as RATT, W.A.S.P., Mötley Crüe (early era), Crashdïet, and Hardcore Superstar, featuring thunderous riffs, infectious choruses, melodic solos, and a raw production style that feels almost like a live performance. A subtle horror theme runs through several tracks and the album's overall sequencing.
The intro evokes an 80s radio broadcast (reminiscent of KISS's "Detroit Rock City"), complete with a transmission and a car crash, establishing a nostalgic, cinematic atmosphere. The album concludes with a horror-themed outro ("Welcome to My Nightmare"), hinting at conceptual continuity.
Tracks such as "Don't Touch," "Trick or Treat," "Screaming for More," and "Pleasure & Pain" (the album's fastest song) deliver maximum energy, powerful riffs, driving drums, and choruses built for live performances. "Pleasure & Pain" is frequently cited as the perfect example of the band's sound: pure, raw, and addictive sleaze. "Broken Heart" has a more melodic vibe with Mötley Crüe influences, while "All I Need" and "Look In Your Eyes" highlight guitar harmonies and memorable solos. "Nasty & Wild" brings speed and punk attitude. Many praise Rob Raw's solos for serving the song rather than just showcasing pure shredding.
The album is straightforward, fun, and no-nonsense—ideal for parties, driving, or live shows. Reviews highlight that it "delivers on its promise" regarding the genre, featuring good production, strong hooks, and an "absolute party" vibe. It is short enough to hold the listener's attention from start to finish.
Early reviews are positive (e.g., 8.5/10 on one site), praising the band's evolution since their debut, the live energy captured in the studio, and the appeal to fans of classic and modern sleaze rock. It is seen as an album that solidifies the band's place in the scene, poised for growth.
In short, All Lights On is an energetic, nostalgic record that is highly recommended for fans of hard rock and sleaze metal—offering melody, attitude, and an updated 80s spirit. With "all lights on"—both on stage and in the sound—the band delivers exactly what it promises: raw, fun, no-frills rock.
