This time from our friends at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knac.com\/article.asp?ArticleID=33218\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KNAC<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Not typical of other solo records where the bulk of the music is straight Rock and\/or Metal, but typical of John 5 is to always add that southern twang letting the listener know where his influence blossomed from, such as the track \u201cHowdy\u201d, appropriately named. With some Rock-A-Billy, a hint of Psycho-Billy and some Country Blues type swings, he also adds a variety of other genres on Invasion to noodle around with. It\u2019s plenty more Dance than anything, with light-hearted jamming allowing him to show off his virtuosity. \u201cCrank It\u201d proves this with the drum-n-bass beat holding steady while John 5 gives the disco track some life. On the track \u201cZoinks!\u201d he and the band really go off, showing some of that versatility the entire band possesses, with lots of funk and classic rock vibration reminiscent of some Highway Star (DEEP PURPLE).<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read the review in full here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knac.com\/article.asp?ArticleID=33218\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">knac.com\/article.asp?ArticleID=33218<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Invasion is available now digitally and a Limited Edition box set or the digipack CD are available to pre-order (coming September 1st): <a href=\"https:\/\/smarturl.it\/invasionalbumJ5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/smarturl.it\/invasionalbumJ5<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KNAC.com gives Invasion a 4 out out 5 review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":575913,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[824,13,559,406,621],"class_list":["post-590517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-review","tag-invasion","tag-john-5","tag-john-5-and-the-creatures","tag-knac","tag-review","tw-post-no-content"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Invasion_Preorder_story_tease_with_boxset.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1qFj4-2tCt","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":3460,"url":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/2013\/04\/22\/john-5-live-with-the-junkman-on-knac-this-monday-22-april\/","url_meta":{"origin":590517,"position":0},"title":"John 5 live with the Junkman on KNAC this Monday 22 April","author":"Dillon - Team John 5","date":"April 22, 2013","format":false,"excerpt":"John 5 will be joining the Junkman on KNAC this Monday 22 April a 4pm PST","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Interview&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Interview","link":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/category\/interview\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"john-5-interview","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/john-5-interview2.jpg?resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/john-5-interview2.jpg?resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/john-5-interview2.jpg?resize=525%2C300 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":4714,"url":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/2015\/02\/16\/john-5-speaks-to-knac-just-practice-and-sometimes-opportunity-will-show-up-and-there-ya-go\/","url_meta":{"origin":590517,"position":1},"title":"John 5 speaks to KNAC: &#8220;Just practice and sometimes opportunity will show up and there ya go.&#8221;","author":"Dillon - Team John 5","date":"February 16, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"John 5 will be taking the John 5 and The Creatures tour to Ripper's Rock House in Ohio on March 8th.
