I just noticed that GINDER MUSIC STORE has been sending e-mails to promote some bands they believe stand out.
"
Wow. We classic rock fans have waited for a long time for an album like
this to come out. Sure, we love the idea of Stryper, Whitecross,
Bloodgood and other 80's metal bands reforming, but to see that music
has FINALLY come full circle after such a long wait sends chills down
my spine. Thankfully this is not another hardcore band trying to pull
of the Southern Rock/Metal sound. These guys are genuine and what makes
this album so great is Theive and Liars have transcended age and gender
all in one recording. I you love Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, REZ
and other classic rock bands, I can promise you that you'll be shouting
"Rock and roll is not Dead and neither is bold in your face lyrics".
These statements resonates on every track of "When Dreams Become
Reality".
Many
of the songs on the album stretch into 7 minutes long. They'll saturate
your senses and take you on an epic journey of dreams and betrayal,
loss and hope taking you on a journey musically and spiritually. If
your not truely moved by the last song on the disc, just listen to it
over and over and you'll find yourself forgetting about your problems
and realizing that everything we have here on this earth is temporary.
This
San Diego-based power trio have spent the last several years
constructing a Zeppelin-meets-Floyd record that came through a
painstaking transfer process. Using recording techniques from the late
60's and early 70's, the band tracked most of the record live, giving
the songs a very natural and warm sound.
Kyle
Rosa's thundering yet graceful drumming provided the necessary
foundation for bassist Joey Bradford, whose playing solidifies the
rhythm section with tasteful lines of expression. The aggressive and
soulful guitar of Corey Edelmann completes the massive sound of this
three-piece. Bradford's energetic and passionate vocals flow seamlessly
between songs, showcasing his ability to sound natural whether
screaming on "Betrayed by Blood" or pouring his heart out on "Alone".
The attention to detail and thought put into every song is evident in
the production, which included organ, a boys choir, and strings. The
violinist's Stradivarius will move you on the ballad "Forgotten", while
the harmonizing boys' chorus will haunt you on "The Author of Dreams".
This 71 minute masterpiece is sure to instill hope in today's rock and
roll scene; there is a revival coming, and the preachers are Thieves
& Liars.
