Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * *

Phoenix of Avalon may not be a name that is well known in Liverpool just yet but on the back of their debut E.P. it surely won’t be long before the name of the band and the two members, Stephen Redfern and David Connor, are more common place.

Although bands such as the Wirral’s The Guardians and Mashemon have a huge head start in their respective journeys as the foremost young bands in the Liverpool area, the debut E.P. by the group, the tantalisingly titled Reborn, shows the band have much promise in their own material. The songs flow in the best possible way and on the songs Battle of Fallen Angels and Letters To No One, the ferocity of the lyrics are matched well with the beating heart that the music provides.
