Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

It’s not a sound a listener might expect to have come from the gateway to the west, a city that is more in touch arguably with the Chicago Blues, heavy rock, the sound of Jazz and Gospel naturally permeate the city skyline and the luminance of Robert Lamm and the brilliance of Peter Cetera hang heavy over the city’s past and possibly the future. Yet for Chicago-based JoyFocus the sound that weaves its way through the past like a hi-speed chase involving a one armed man and an irate and falsely accused Doctor is both invigorating and encompassing.
