ELECTRIC RIVER - Faith & Patience. (*A Review*)

If you've been in tune with the program for the last couple of years you will already know what a great band Electric River are, and will already have got yerself a copy of Faith and Patience. If you've only just tuned in then you really need to listen to this album, it's a corker! Twelve tracks of pure power and passion filled with pumping fists and lighters in the air moments. It's a big and bold statement full of self belief (This Garden Will Grow) It's a call to arms (Calling Out) It's sensitive and soulful (Watersong) It doesn't just blow the doors off, it takes the roof off (In Your Name) It's about hope when all around there is despair. (Keep The Engine Burning) It's about life, the ups and downs, the good, the bad and the ugly. These are songs to sing when standing strong and staring into the face of adversity. This is an uplifting and life affirming listen. It is the result of over four years hard graft and holding their nerve by Electric River, whose faith and patience has been repaid, and accolades will be written in their name!

FAITH & PATIENCE Is out now on Cadiz Music. For 'fans' of not just The Alarm, New Model Army, Bruce Springsteen, The Gaslight Anthem and The Clash, but for anyone that likes their music to be loud, proud, real and honest!

Nuzz - apologies for random comment but couldn't find an email contact for you. I thought I'd hit you up as you reviewed and liked some of my stuff before, and thought you might be interested. I've had 2 new releases on Topplers records out last year, one a split with Steve Treatment, the other an acoustic punk CD. I'm down to my last 2 copies of each, and thought I'd give you a heads up in case you fancied them. If you are, let me know - happy to send on - just wanted to give you a chance to get them if you wanted em. Cheers! Roscoe http://roscoevacant.bandcamp.com
