This Hampshire four-piece has been around the clubs and festivals for some years (and four albums) but, being at the rockier end of the blues scene, has rather escaped my attention, which probably shows I should be getting out more for this was a real and unexpected treat.

The Band’s fourth album finds them live in the studio, keeping the balance between blues and rock, maintaining a high energy level and with some intelligent song writing in evidence on thirteen original songs, with singer, guitarist, keyboard player and bandleader Adam Norsworthy writing or co-composing a dozen of them.
