Truth, Soul, Rock & Roll Review

This incredible second album builds up and improves on the distinctive foundations laid by the bands debut recording 'Big Surprise'.
The variety of pace and theme throughout keeps you hooked from the catchy, powerful riff that kicks off 'Speaking in Tongues' to the beautifully delicate 'Smile at life again'. The balance between the mellow and the more upbeat tracks is perfect, with more of the latter being included than in the previous album. This for me gives 'Truth, soul, rock and roll' the edge.
The songs are filled with emotion and the lyrics are hopeful, talking of life in Christ. Owen Thomas' vocals are soulful and span from raw and powerful to very tender.
This album is summed up by its title. Buy it.
