The debut album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, samples and vocals.
This band comes from Alnwick in the north-eastern corner of England. I have passed through it several times on my way from Edinburgh to Newcastle. A nice little town. The band has so far released two albums and a review of their second album will be posted soon in this blog.
The musicians here are well into their fifties, age wise.
The music here is a mix of standard rock and art-rock. There are also some The Beatles influences here.
The music on this one hour long album is rather quirky with some subtle Gentle Giant influences. The music is most of all melodic.
The band has labeled their music as intelligent rock and there is no doubts the band is pretty much spot on here.
The vocals is good and the band does a good job on some pretty quirky, complicated songs. There is no really outstanding songs here and that is the only gripe I got with this album.
The result is an acceptable debut album and one to check out if melodic, quirky intelligent rock is your thing.
