A second CD from this Manchester trio, recorded live at a jam session on 30th April 2002. Obviously there are a few bum notes here and there but the band manage to capture a pretty clear sound that shows off their talents. Beginning with the driving acoustic "Lost Cause", it isn't until the second song that band singer/guitarist Adam Perrott plugs in his electric guitar, tips back his head and goes for it. The result is the blistering "All We Need Is You" which is quickly followed up by the equally frenetic sound of "Beautiful" and "Breakin' Thru". Unfortunately with the electric songs, the limitation of the trio and the live recording shine through very brightly. Overall there is simply not enough variation on the EP to keep things interesting.
