RGG November 2016 - p.7
based album, less flash guitar solos more
feeling on driven chords and weird shapes. I'd
like to think the new album somewhat sounds
more mature. We are a mixed genre band but I
feel even through each song sounds different
that they all naturally group together better than
say some of the songs on the first album. Songs
like 'Pieces' were just too out there different and
miss fitting to the likes of 'The Line', 'No Quit' and
'Saturday Night TV'. The new album will be
approximately 60% electric and 40% acoustic
which touches on our diverse ability to fit into a
lot of genre scenarios live.
We performed a full acoustic set at Wolves fest
2016 and performed fully electric opening for
Diamond Head”
