With his third album, the 2014 blues rock sensation wanted to send us to dance school. However, it went quite badly, and from some corners there was a “sell-out!” sound. Consequence: Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher, incarnated power generators from Brighton, produce themselves for the first time and return to the roots – not without trying new things, such as the hit, piano-driven quasi-ballad “Pull Me Through”. At the same time, you actually get closer to the Liverpool school: While “There Goes My Cool” infuses John Lennon with glam and early Queen, “The Firing Line” tends more towards The Coral. And there’s still plenty of time for Stoner Rock!
