Reviewed by Tony Cummings

When Cross Rhythms reviewed this thoroughly engaging debut from the Sheffield iconoclasts back in July last year, this was still an independent release. Now of course Authentic have given it Christian retail distribution and with its Kaiser Chiefs-style rhythms and its clever production from Andy Baker, this is still one of the best UK albums of the last couple of years. Standouts include "Digging Deep" with its memorable chorus while "Electricity" and "I'm Not Leaving" show singer Nick Noble has one of the most original voices to emerge for years. A delight.

fantastic album...i don't know why it hasn't made more noise!!!! Surely this is going to be THEIR year both in Christian field and non-Christian field. Loving 'smile back at you' but 'electricity' has gotta be song of the album!
