For those of you deeply immersed in liverpool's local music scene this must feel a bit like a family reunion - you see familiar faces all around [Andy Pink (former band: Caves/Native Wilderness); Marc Terry (session drummer for Michael Seary); John Whittingham & Chris Marriott  (session musicians); Sam Westhead (singer/songwriter // cover artist)] and yet hear a new, slightly different sound, warmer, more acoustic- and harmony-led, still beaming with confidence all the same. But let's not dwell on comparisons (carpe carmina was never fond of them anyway) and focus on what makes these five comrades such a pleasure to pay attention to. With gripping folk roots hardly undeniable when listening to Sam's raucous, sonorously ardent voice, atmospherically accompanied by melodious acoustic guitar play, the energetic and electrifying bass-guitar-combo gives 'The Answer' a rocking note, powerful in spirit and thrilling in style, while rhythmically controlled yet strikingly vigorous drum dynamics and discreet key melodics boost a welcoming vibrant buoyancy. It becomes apparent that every instrument has its spot to shine, every brother his moment to show skills and soul in this composition; charmingly comradely and beautifully aligned, both contributes to create a sound highly rousing and well-rounded. And that is something applaudable for a debut release indeed!
