Their first album "Rise" was shocking. Of course, that was a good shock. People often say that Rock music has changed. That depends on how you define rock music. Rock music always has and will keep changing. I guess that sentence is often said by classic rock fans. I am also a classic rock fan. I listen to some of recent rock musicians as well, but my favorite kind of rock music is from late 60's to 70's. If you are a kind of person like me, you have to check this band. This blues-based hard rock band is what you have been looking for. Their first album was awesome, but this album won overall quality of songs. It was really easy for me to listen to the whole album without losing tension. 

Recently, classic rock revival movement is going on around world. Bands such as Rival Sons, Airbourne, The Darkness, and Sons Of Merrick are representatives. They are really nostalgic for old fans and very fresh for younger fans. Unfortunately, not many of those new classic rock (I know it is really weird to say, but I cannot think of any other ways to express) has big commercial success. I hope they would get more credit because the rock scene really needs this kind of bands.

Let's go back to the album. I could tell from their first album that they were all great musicians. This record is full of good riffs and melody. I think the album is catchier than the first. They put 13 songs in this album, but none of them was junk. Dear classic rock fans, please note that there are still good bands that play classic influenced rock music, and they are great live acts too!!
