Full Blown Mosey - Temporal Cadence Review


Full Blown Mosey are a classic hard rock band from the state of Wyoming USA, playing that classic rock perfected by the great bands of the late 70's.
Their music is extremely tight due to having played together for so many years. Kirk Warren, Rocky Harting and Greg Scott have been together since the early 90's playing the best guitar rock around.
At times yopu can here some great ACDC, Rush, Led Zepplin Sabbath influences which on stand to stand 'Temporal Cadence' in good sted.
Some of the stand out tracks include album opener 'Mistaken', 'Fast Movin Shadow' and excellent 'Beserker' and album closer 'Now I Know'.
To be honest theres not a bad track insight here, just great songs by a great band with crystal clear production.

Temporal Cadence has taken a while to make, with the death of a band member part way through recording, but eventually the band felt ready to carry on, completed the album and Temporal Cadence is the result, dedicated to the memory of Dale Ortega, and is a great tribute!

This album gets stronger on each listen, I imagine its going to be in my cd player alot in the future, especially if I have any long road trips which this album was simply made for, great driving music!!

check these guys out, they could be huge!!

Cooper - Magic Rocks Review


Magic Rocks by Cooper is the debut album with 9 hard rocking songs with fantastic hooks, crystal clear production and excellent playing by highly talented musicians. It's a short album, nine tracks lasting less than half an hour, and including three instrumental pieces. Old Man is a gentle, ethereal piece, featuring some good guitar harmonising and a bit of acoustic thrown in for good measure. Drummer's Paradise is exactly what you would expect: a chance for Paul Cooper to show off his skills, which are considerable. It leads straight into the closer, Time's Up, which features a good dose of heavy bass and shredding. Anthony Ristovski's guitars are superb throughout the entire album but the vocals just dont really do it for me, again thats my personal taste, and Im not saying theres anything wrong here, just Im not feeling it!
Magic Rocks is technically excellent in both performances and production, but I feel that it falls down slightly by being that bit too polished, too focused on the perfection of the overall sound and lacking a litle in the passion department.

If you're a prog rock fan you should check Cooper out. Again not really my kinda thing but I can appreciate the talent on dispaly here!
