5.0 out of 5 stars not too shabby, July 26, 2006

This review is from: Fighting Instinct (Audio CD)

the first time i listened i thought "eh, it's ok...nothin special though." but with every listen i like it more and more. my favorite song on it is "Just to Please You"

so i make no promises that you'll like it, but if you do happen to pick it up and aren't too impressed with it on the first listen, don't just give up on it...give it a couple more tries

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Debut from a Promising New Band., November 13, 2006

Every once in awhile, a new band comes along that deserves attention. Fighting Instinct is one of those bands.
With the release of their self-titled debut on Gotee Records, Fighting Instinct is off the an excellent start. The trio of singer/guitarist/songwriter TJ Harris, bassist Jason Weekly and drummer Dallas Farmer draw heavily upon Classic Rock influences such as Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd with a hint of Boston as well as later alternative bands like Pearl Jam and Christian bands along the likes of Third Day, Building 429 and Kutless.
Every track on this CD displays solid melodic rock hooks as well as meaningful lyrics that are strongly rooted in the band's Christian faith. Most of the songs have lyrics that deal with the fact that we as individuals are indeed lost without a savior and that Christ is ultimately the only way to salvation. There is also one genuine Praise and Worship piece on the album as heard in the closing track "Just To Please You". The musicianship within this band is extremely tight as evidenced in the opening track "I Found Forever", "Light My Way", "Back To You", "My Heart Cries Out" and "All Or Nothing".
As mentioned above, this a very strong debut from this band. Here's hoping that Fighting Instinct will stick around for many more years to come. With this CD, they have proven already to be a great promising band. If they keep at it, they definitely have to potential of growing to even greater status.

5.0 out of 5 stars Whoever said Christian influenced rock wasn't cool anyway?, November 27, 2006

Sadly this CD will be overlooked and shoved to the bottom of every radio station's playlist because it falls under the Christian rock tag,and shame on every program director for not giving this a listen for that reason, you guys are so suppose to be the first to expose us to new bands on the edge of cracking the charts and opening up for major air play.
If you like Saliva, Foo Fighters , Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd or Shinedown this CD will blow you away. It is full of loud and proud US HOME GROWN ROCK MUSIC.
I caught the track I Found Forever on WDHA in New Jersey, thank you boys for playing it and giving me A&R info to track this CD down. What a great rocking track to lead off this CD, Crush , Light My Way, and Back To You are more great follow up tracks, strong vocals and harmonies make these young men stand out, plus some good old loud guitar just give this entire Cd a great sound. Yes there are a couple of ballads for the girls and some more personal lyrics with God and Christ in mind,and girls and love and heartbreak.
So what, does every body have to curse to sound cool, no it just has to sound great when you turn up the volume and your friends say, hey, who are these guys, this is great!
I hope this CD finds it's way into your CD player, just a simple thank you by email would be nice and then turn someone else on to this outstanding CD.
