Seeing their album artwork made me immediately presume they are a metal band but by judging a book by its cover is the wrong thing to do. I suddenly found out these are more of a rock band than any other genre out there.

The opening song “By All Means” (one of the singles) for their album “Luna” is a good choice; it catches your attention straight away with the lead guitar kicking in within a second or two into the song. The rhythmic guitars during the chorus and the quick, small gang vocals add to the effect of the song keeping your ears fixed to the song.
The fade out and feedback from the first song going straight into ‘Collision’ which has a mellow introduction shows the band are able to do more than a rocky beat to the songs they write. The unexpected guitar melody two thirds into the song and the guitar solo with the vocals over the top makes this song more interesting keeping fans on their feet whilst listening to this song. With the drums having a rocky start at the beginning of the album, they soon tidy up throughout the album.

At track four ‘Love me’, there is an acoustic song, sharp drum kicks and smooth snare sounds along with the relaxing vocals and subtle piano tunes show fans their ability that they can do more than just rock. Just before the chorus hits, the music builds up with a tom drum fill then the electric guitar is introduced into the song for the first time at 1 minute 56 seconds.

November Nights, track 10 has one of the best solos on the album. The awesome guitar riff carrying on through with added drums and bass lines as it builds up towards the end just shows they can show off their talents very well.
The band constantly manages to impress you throughout this album by using sleek guitar riffs and awesome drum fills. The vocalist, Danny, is able to reach ever vocal range for each song on this album, from the built up chorus to the acoustic, chilled vibes.

These guys’ show they aren’t a local bar band, they show the potential of being a lot more than that. If they keep up the good work they are doing now, more and more people will forever like their music.
