For just one man, this is a seriously impressive piece of work – Adam has managed to make himself sound like a synchronised and established group, which is no mean feat. The music is, broadly, southern-rock in feel, indeed tracks like “So Called News” and “What Can I Do” (in particular) had me in mind of the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the heavier end of The Doobie Brothers – not that the songs are in any way derivative, but the feel is similar. You can certainly hear Adam’s love and knowledge of music, it bursts through the speakers on listening to this album.

From the opening instrumental “F.L.O.P”, which lulls you into a false sense of serenity before powering into overdrive, right through to closing track “Yesterdays” this is a highly listenable and enjoyable album. The only track on the album which doesn’t quite work, for me, is “That Side”, there’s something that doesn’t quite gel in the vocal performance on this tune. Mind you, I am very picky, so for me to be down on one out of twelve ain’t bad!

All-in-all, an accomplished debut, and I for one look forward to future releases. It’d be nice to hear much of the album in a live context at some point in the future too, though I daresay finding suitable accompanying musicians is no easy task. A shame that Adam and I are on opposite sides of the pond, or else I’d offer my drumming services in the event of live dates looming.
