MARCH OF DIMES - ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES

With harmonies to die for, poignant lyrics, strong vocals and tight playing this has to be one of the most rounded and consistant albums of 2008. The five highly talented musicians based in Leeds, have produced an album which is uplifting, thoughtful and catchy in equal measures, but never predictable or bland. The band members have an array of instruments which adds to the expectations of the listener, as the band surprises the listener as synthesisers make way for acoustic, which makes way for the piano, which makes way for lead guitar all superbly complemented by wonderful vocal performances. With the success of Yorkshire’s favourite Americana band The Durbervilles own Radio Show and the Hee Haw Sessions at Santiago in Leeds, the future looks bright for the Americana/Country scene in West Yorkshire, and while there are bands of this calibre then hopefully recognition on all fronts will be achieved and will be well deserved.
