This is the second EP from a team of Canadian rockers and the title track is a strident call to show love in action and to stand up for the poor and oppressed in the world. The song rocks along with a guitar sound reminiscent of Iggy Pop's "The Passenger" and vocal that would not sound amiss with the Crash Test Dummies and is certainly well written and catchy. Followed up by "Stone Age", a straight rock number that would not be out of place in Audio Adrenaline's back catalogue, they progress onto an almost reggae intro for "Don't Hesitate" but it drops back into a standard rock rhythm by the chorus. The final track is back into Crash Test Dummies territory with a gentle ballad "Empathy" that builds nicely to a climax to close the EP. Well written and produced this is top-notch rock with a message.
