Geoff Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Yeah, not bad. Nothing great, but solid stuff. I feel like they've released something previously? lol @ the HEAT shirt in the first clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CureTheSane Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 They released an EP called 4 Shots! Midnight Queen was on it Worth picking up for a couple of other songs Angels Crying Just Waiting For You 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tts42572 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Not to bad...might check this out. My only little worry are the modern Bon Jovi and countryish vibes in spots. Both these tunes are pretty good though so will be worth checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried they might have too much of a Bon Jovi Country vibe but think that Midnite Qyeen song is more of a one off type thing. Could be good stuff of they stick to songs like this.

tts42572 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Kinda liking what I hear from these guys. Little different than everything else I'm listening to lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tts42572 Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 With all the H.e.a.t excitement, this one will probably fly under the radar as it's out also. Gave it one spin and I kinda like it. Not nearly the same level as H.e.a.t and not something I'm get overly excited about. But not too bad and some decent tunes on it. There's one or two tunes that are maybe a little too countryish sounding for me which was my worry but also some edgier, more rocking tunes. Little different vibe for sure but worth checking out if you've liked the sound of any of the tunes earlier in the thread. And I believe these guys will be touring with H.e.a.t for some shows when H.e.a.t is in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rocker Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Mr. Big Shot Promiseland Merry Go Round In It For Love Lullaby Midnight Queen Get Back To You Won't Stop Me Dreaming Are all good to really good songs. Yes, some have a "Country" vibe, also he has a Chad Kroger vibe here and there(which doesn't bother me, but might to some). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...He was reminding me of somebody and I couldn't put my finger on it....That's it though lol. They're kinda like Nickelback combined with what I might imagine Bon Jovi sounding like today if Bon Jovi actually tried to still rock instead of just writing sappy adult contemporary ballads.

Mafisen Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) I like most of what I've heard in this thread. Agree on the country vibes, I'm also picking up a tinge of southern rock here and there. Edited February 21, 2020 by Mafisen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lettard Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Yeah quite a nice album,it aint amazing,but the Nickelbackisms & country rock sound are a put off for me for overall replay value,and theyre from the UK too which sorta surprised me,didnt realise that until I ordered the disc from them Edited February 24, 2020 by lettard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CureTheSane Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Listening to this now and it shits all over HEAT for me. Hope others are blindsided by the HEAT release and miss out on this. Much more catchy and hooky and much less samey than HEAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazysam Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 I thought their EP was pretty good. A few of the same tracks are used again here and while sometimes those can be the best tracks on a band's full length there are several other good tunes to be heard. The country rock influence they showed on that EP is continued on few of the new tracks, but even if that style isn't your preference don't let it deter you from giving this a chance. As Cure pointed out there is plenty of variety from track to track. I will say, I hadn't really noticed the vocal similarities to Chad Kroeger until The Rocker pointed it out, but I did pick up on that while listening to this one. Overall I think it is a solid album and one I'd recommend checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope others are blindsided by the HEAT release and miss out on this. Much more catchy and hooky and much less samey than HEAT Interesting post. I was really pleasantly surprised by this album. A couple of dud tracks, but generally it's really, really listenable and I enjoy the majority of the songs. Nice and cleanly produced, good vocals and good vibe. It's a good release. But. HEAT shits all over this and then regurgitates it's own shit and heaps it back on to this... in my opinion. Why do you want people to miss out on this? Don't you want people to also appreciate and buy it so they release more music? That's such an odd comment. It makes me think that you force yourself to like less popular stuff just because it's less popular rather than because of how good or bad it is? To each their own, but I definitely don't think it's catchier or hookier than HEAT. Nor is HEAT samier. In my opinion. They're very different albums and excellent at what each band is out to achieve. Anyway, glad you enjoy this. I do too. I just hope a tall poppy syndrome thing isn't creepy into your take on this vs HEAT. I've always had a real issue with people taking exception with more popular stuff just because it's more popular. This is good, HEAT is excellent. In my opinion. No harm in just enjoying both for the two very different albums they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No harm in just enjoying both for the two very different albums they are. Agree. Couldn't agree more actually. Yeah, it's an okay debut release and decent surprise. There's a few tunes I really dig like Promiseland, Merry Go Round, Lullaby. And Big Shot, In It For Love aren't too bad. Basically, I like the more up tempo, rocking stuff and they sound great on those tunes. That said, also a few real duds here that almost make me regurgitate. There's just too much Country Twang in a couple tunes and I doubt I'll ever listen to a few of these songs again. Basically, this album loses me a bit in the last third of the album as that seems to be where the Country stuff kicks in. And yes, this is nowhere near H.e.a.t's league for me. Not even in the same stratosphere. Basically, there's about an EP's worth of decent stuff here. I see myself probably mostly listening to the first 5 tunes and then moving on. Worth checking out but not anything that will come close to touching H.e.a.t or many of the other good releases coming this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
