Reviewed by Sam Hargreaves
A fairly standard "demo we're trying to flog", from a band with two Christian members (which could start a debate that 1 don't have room for!). Songwriiing shows some promise in places but lyrics need lo be somewhat deeper than a teaspoon if they're going to cut in the real world. The real problem for me is the same as every band.at this stage has. They build themselves up in their biog to being something out of this world, "a band ahead of their time", etc and the tape doesn't deliver. "Magictonc".' The last thing the guitars have is magic tone. They're generally too low in the mix to hear above the drums. But, hey, for two and a half quid it's not a bad gig souvenir. 1 bet they'd be fair live, the tunes fit well lo the festival circuit. They'd be wise to work on the songwriting and slop trying to kid themselves they're "ahead of their lime" because to be honest they sound like a thousand other bands.
