A very enjoyable six track CD from the recent Rising Stars Up! Highlights include the opener ‘What Happens Now’ which is an upbeat slice of melodic pop rock - Butch Walker meets Cheap Trick. Guitars to the max for ‘I Don’t Think So’ - best song on the disc! Gentle verses which then explode into a catchy chorus backed by a chunky guitar riff. XTC come to mind with the quirky ‘Buffy Summers’, an ode to the TV show - sheer bliss! These are the cream of the CD but the other three tracks - ‘Freaky Girl’, ‘Before’ & ‘Seaview’ - are no fillers either.

Get yourself a copy of this (it’s free!) and listen to a band that deserves success on a big scale. Melodic pop rock of the highest quality with a modern vibe. Definitely one to watch!
