This 12 album was Produced by Johnny Hickman [Cracker]. Engineered by Ben Moore and Mixed by Ben Moore, Sidney Merritt. Johnny Hickman and Swive. SOMETHING kicks off this album with high pace guitars playing and epic harmonies that are quite a highlight to hear.
BAD TENDENCIES as the favor of The Producers meets The Wonders which is a great combination to put together The harmonies are always a highlight to hear.DEAD BUT FREE brings a different favor to the band which you would never expect to hear from them. Check it out. DIAMOND PATH is purely great as the vocals stand out as the band is right on the money as far as the beat and melody goes. I love this song.
THIRSTY has a punkish feel as the band is high paced in guitar playing and as the beat is pounding away at you. This is, definitely, an interesting song from the band. FENIX brings this album to an end ,as the intro is mellowed out and the song is slow paced and as strong as ever. This song is quite a highlight to end a great album. I want to give SIDNEY MERRITT a BIG THANK YOU for being in touch. Watch out for this band. You can find them at: Apple, You Tube, Spotify, Bandcamp, Instagram,X, Soundcloud and other sites. ROCK ON, JIM ALLFORD [STEEL NOTES MAGAZINE.]
