Walk EP - Grayson/Reed

And onto our next review! Another EP for you now, also a debut! This time it's the turn of Christian husband and wife duo, Grayson/Reed.

Conclusion


John - I was not expecting this! What a well produced and well written EP. Grayson/Reed possess two incredible voices that go together perfectly. I happen to have given both the highest and lowest scores in this review (maybe due to the amount of coffee I have consumed prior to listening) - the lowest to Be Revealed, which was okay but a little unremarkable compared to the other tracks on the EP. The highest, however, was only my second 5 star song. And boy was it deserved. The vocal harmonies are absolutely incredible on Fight For You, the instrumental is faultless, and the lyrics are beautiful. I honestly cannot find even the tiniest weakness. I couldn't not give it 5 stars.

I am definitely looking forward to what these guys have in store for us next. They have so much potential, it's astounding. The vocals, the production, the lyricism on show, the catchy-ness.. Everything points to more great music coming our way. Grayson/Reed are one to watch, no matter what genre you're into, whether you're a religious person or not. Check them out, now.

Overall - 4/5

Tilly - I've been in charge of plucking out the records to review at the moment, and I think I uncovered a gem here. I wanted something a little different, and this was hailed as a Christian worship album everywhere I looked so I wrote it down on our list. Like we said previously, we're not religious but no matter what your beliefs may be, that shouldn't stop you from listening to excellent music. And that is what Grayson/Reed's EP is. Their vocal harmonies are mesmerising, and I could listen to their voices for hours on end, their lyrics are strong and the production is phenomenal. It's more country pop than anything, and it's easy to listen to and will have you singing along as soon as you first hear the chorus'. I cannot wait for a full release from this duo and I sure hope they tour the UK because I'll definitely be getting tickets. 

Overall - 4/5

All These Countless Nights - Deaf Havana

Deaf Havana will be a familiar name to any UK based fans of rock music. Championed by Kerrang! and Rocksound in their earlier days, they rapidly gained a large following down to their catchy blend of deep, well-written lyrics and anthemic, singalong choruses. In recent years their music has changed a lot - matured, as they would probably tell you. Nowadays they are closer to indie rock than their earlier post-hardcore sound, but still with the same rich lyrical content and ability to pen a song that will stick in your head all day. All These Countless Nights is the fourth release by the band - the question is, have they still got it? Let's find out.
