Geoff Carne & The Raw Rox Band: The River Of Dreams E.P. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Dreams are important, they are our subconscious talking to us on levels that we only fathom when we embrace the complex reasons for our actions and those we wish to undertake. Dreams flow in directions that our sentient waking mind often represses, pushes away with agony of spirit that we which we truly wish to embrace, investigate, release, and like a river escape from the confines of the land on either side of us and return to the sea and the adventure that awaits in the unknown.

Elizabeth The Second, Two Margarita At The Fifty Five. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

To be able to swagger with impunity, you must not only have a reason but you also must understand humility, the modesty in which to carry it off. There are ways in which to show this without looking meek, painfully shy, it is all about deportment and the way you make others feel about themselves.

Duncan Ewart, Hurt Yourself And Entertain Me. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The world of social media has opened the eyes of many to the possibilities that surround them, there is so much good to be found that the benefits are there to be shared, a sense of the collective that makes the world a smaller, united place -when it goes right. Unfortunately, with every possible light in the world, there must come darkness, and too often, not just in the ethereal but in the living of the moment, we are almost implored to flagellate ourselves for someone else’s amusement.

Dead Fiction, E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

It takes a certain kind of logic and courage to not feel crushed by the weight of the modern age, that the reality we fight is nothing more at times than a personification of the fantasy, of the fiction, others have written, and we somehow have been foolish enough to believe.

The Dead Agents, E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

It all seems in vogue, a return to the great Rock bands of the Midlands in which a generation pinned their hopes and aspirations upon, in which the past has become very much part of the future and to which The Dead Agents can be seen to be held deeply within this new and beguiling renaissance.

Sam Marine, Big Dark City. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

They say New York City never sleeps, that it must be suffering from a kind of metropolis induced insomnia, the bright lights of Broadway constantly ablaze with show information, Time Square pumping out electricity, eye catching news and the simple off 77th Street and 3rd Avenue bar which stays open all night, all the collected lights and glow of the neighbourhood, and yet it can still be to the lonely, the thoughtful and the heartbroken, a place where songs are written about the Big Dark City.

Beaumont, Honestly. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Honesty is a virtue, not many people can pull it off with sincerity or without the guilt riding along on its coat tails, pulling back the emotions and looking openness in the eye; for many, honesty is bordering on cruel, they wrap it up in sentiments of the well worn phrase “I don’t sugar coat my words” or “I tell it how it is”, without even giving a thought to how the other person might react. Honesty is a virtue, but being unkind and purposely vicious in the same sentence is the most despicable of acts.

Lauren Davenport, E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The act of yearning is one that can never be ignored completely, you can try to shut it out, you can dampen the effects, mask them with other issues in your life, however the ache to experience whatever set your heart aflame in the beginning will always find a way to sneak back in an unguarded moment and take the craving on further, deeper and become more entrenched in the psyche.

Dylan Luster, E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Dylan Luster might not be a name that the public instantly recognises but the music he has created for his self titled E.P. is one that should catch on quicker than a salesman carrying a suitcase full of Mayonnaise finding a remote village that only has ever tried salt and pepper on its fish and chips.

The exposure to certain musical influences are keenly felt throughout the four songs that make up the Los Angeles musician’s E.P., there is no audible escape from the beauty that resides in the songs and more importantly in the vocals that the young man is able to deliver without impunity, without resignation of the soul and without ever straying from the line he has created.

Mama Roux, E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

That voodoo that they do so well really does set the feet tapping beyond the expectation of what the ears demand when asking to be stimulated and encouraged to try something new.

It is in the art of the story teller that such songs come bouncing out of the cage like a pent up fighter seeking to land the first punch but to whom the necessity of doing so causes grief, much better that the tussle between mind and ear be mutual and one of understanding and it is to this that the four track self titled E.P. by Mama Roux really gives its life and respect too.
