Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Following on from their debut self titled album, Federal Charm have returned in the same dynamic style with the release of the just as blistering, just as deep down and Rock-filled exuberance called Across The Divide.

In the short time between albums there has been a shift, not a great one, nothing that might be noticed by the casual observer of such things but nonetheless a shift that is discernible and hugely agreeable. A change in the way that a very good band can be heard and the attitude of really hammering out the song with style and authority; this is the divide that has been breached and taken control of and it is worth every cent, dime, penny and pound to hear the result.
