Editorial Reviews

2009 sophomore album from the British Alt-Punk/Pop outfit. Frontman and songwriter Alex Davies started writing the new material as soon as the band came off the road in December last year. The new songs pull from the band's experiences of making and touring their first album. The album sessions started in April this year at Chapel Studios in Lincoln and at Mavehole Studios in York. Produced once again by Jim Wirt (Incubus, Hoobastank, Something Corporate) and mixed by the multi Grammy award-winning Tom Lord-Alge, this second collaboration meant that the band and Jim knew what had worked before but gave them a lot of room to add new creative ideas and to push into bold new territory. Features the first single 'Electric High'. Repossession.

I'm not going to give you a run down song by song, but I will say that this album is one of the best albums I've listened to all year. Now I'm typically not into this "power pop pop rock" nonsense, but I'll give over on these guys. These UK rockers are amazing. If you like their previous album, you will love this even more. It it packed with great vocals, awesome orchestral accompaniment, some great guitar riffs, and amazing melodies and chords. With out a doubt, buy this album. There are a few duds, mainly "All Along", but the rest of the songs make up for it, especially the first to bombastic songs.

For fans of:

-Symphonic Rock

-Elton John

-John Williams

-Silverchairs "Neon Ballroom" and "Diorama"

-The Dear Hunter

-Muse --(some of the songs are a bit Muse-like, not necessarily the vocals)

-Catchy hooks

-Awesome music

-"The Dancer"

-"I Believe"

-"Shiver"
