A group consisting of eight young men, desperately trying to 'get on down' but not quite far enough I'm afraid. Allegiances owe more to the late '70s with the pitching of vocals decidedly dodgy - downright flat in some instances. 'I Am Determined' is an epic attempt at a rousing finale and an example of the vocals getting out of hand. Grandiose and orchestral with the boys giving it all they've got... which is just the problem!! Most of the tracks are well produced, especially 'Open Your Heart' which evokes memories of Earth Wind and Fire. Having said all this their hearts seem in the right place, lyrics being sound, leaving folks in no doubt of their standing. Probably with a thriving live ministry, their enthusiasm and sincerity is evident (albeit out of tune). Get some vocal training boys and God bless.
