The band formerly known as Steel Machine has slowly grown into a most effective melodic rock band capable of rocking hard but also penning tunes packed with catchy hooks. Produced by Gav Richards and Dez Minto from Yfriday, this is their best effort yet with improvements across the board. On songs like "All Roads Lead To Rome" and the title track, the band sound powerful and tight and Adam Carmichael's songwriting is improving with each release. For me, their previous release 'My Energy' was always let down by the muggy production but this time around the band sound sharp and edgy and they create music which will make an impact wherever they play. From the catchy "Give It All To You" to the more reflective "What I've Become", it's good to see this Northumbrian band working on their skills and developing into a fine outfit. It's definitely paying off!
