AGAINST ANY ODDS kicks off this album with a soulful, funky jam song that will blow you away. The song is fast paced and the guitar riffs are right on, The melody and lyrics are the best ever, so listen closely. So, so sweet. Check it out.
NEVER CONFORM has a great laid back intro as the melody and lyrics will get in your head in no time. The melody and lyrics are as strong as ever on this song. I love the '60 vibes in this song as it will take you back to those great music days. Excellent song from start to finish.
RELAPSE COLLAPSE is a fast paced, in your face type of song with a metal touch as it seems Frank Zappa would be proud to hear this song. The lyrics are great too, just listen close. I love it. WOW!
MAYLEEN is another great song with all the hooks everywhere on this song. The melody and lyrics are right on in this song. The band really has a Top 10 feel to it as the beat and melody is as strong as ever. Very, very impressive.
VIRTUALITY brings Sarah vocals to the forefront in this song. Her vocals seem to flow along well in the song as the band is as tight as ever as they spin circles around her voice. The pace is quite different in this song, but it highlights that this band can play anything. Nice.
AFTER ALL OF THIS brings this amazing album to an end. This song is quite different in many ways, but they still have the jam band feel on this one. Check it out. I'd like to THANK COLIN for being in touch and you can find the band at: Deezer, Spotify, Facebook, Pandora, iHeartRadio and other sites. ROCK ON, JIM ALLFORD [STEEL NOTES MAGAZINE.]
