“Love Of My Life,”starts off with an absolute blinder of a riff, one that swans in and out of the spectrum with class. The main lead lick over this is something else entirely. Right from the go you know the band mean business, and the vocals when they come in are powerful and catchy all in one.

“Lost,” harmonises from the get go and gets the blood pumping and the people talking.

“Friends,” is anthemic. That opening keyboard lick is something else. From the get go, the song is upbeat and gets the blood pumping.

“Night After Night,” goes down the broodier route, with the guitars doing a staccato melody throughout whilst the vocals croon their way through.

“Free My Mind,” slows things down. It talks about freedom and escape, and gets the hairs on the back of the listener’s neck standing up.

“Give Me All Your Love,” is an absolute rocker. That opening salvo on the guitar is simply phenomenal.

“Lift Me Up,” rocks out, the keys and the guitars gel well together to produce something that catches the imagination and runs wild.

“The One,” goes for the thoughtful ballad type melody and rocks it out to its fullest inclination.

“Breakout,” goes for a jam and comes back filled with energy and passion.

“Madeleine,” is another anthem.

“Take Me To Your Heart,” brims with passion and forcefulness.

The album is out on 7th August via Frontiers Music.
