An interesting new band from the Belfast area deliver a gutsy guitar based album that shows that CCM is alive and well in Northern Ireland. This talented young bunch are a bit more special than just Brit pop...the vocals often sounding more like REM than Oasis. I loved some of the clever rhythms (Steve Orr's drums are excellent) slotted in behind neat tunes and catchy riffs. The guys are being well received in both clubs and the CCM circuit, all they need now is a bit more exposure and maybe a wee deal to help them along. Lou Reed once said that you only need two guitars, a bass and drums to make good rock 'n' roll... If Halcyon Days are anything to go by, he was right.
