Kev Gray and The Gravy Train - Time to Live Again

This track has a lot of meaning behind it, it features musicians from 6 different countries, who came together online to create this song, during the Covid Pandemic. The message is: "Music Unites Us, Music Is Unstoppable".

 Complex percussion build as the funky guitars rage on. It’s boldly assertive and refreshing... Certain sections of tranquillity add a whole other level of depth with upbeat, happy elements, before tumbling straight back into the heavier chorus'.

Some of the sections have clear roots in classic rock, particularly the intriguing, bouncy, chord progression which is incredibly catchy throughout. The real genius in the sound, though, is how they have taken this and wrapped it in a distinctly 70's sound, and with it created a mini masterpiece. It builds to a crescendo, quietens down, and builds up again many times; it has a true sense of  structure, whilst maintaining the rawness that gives it such originality and uniqueness. 

It becomes even more layered, fulfilling every single sense of the listener. Soft, easy going verses draw you in before the song bursts into life with emotion towards the dramatic, cinematic end.

Overall this song is VERY enjoyable, well executed, and culminates in a way, full of pictorial vibes and creativity.

Winchester 7 and the Runners release their album "Argos Holiday" One of the first tracks that really caught my attention was "The Golden Age" This song starts with a cresending fuzzy electric guitar introduction that leads into the quiet but powerful halfharmonic vocals, the drums are simple but do the job of keeping the song in track. The electric guitar and bass work well together and the vocals remind me of very early pre2005 Arctic Monkeys songs. "When The World stops Spinning" feels like a Reytons track, also including the fuzzy rock sounds of "The golden age". This song has a more catchy and early rock style than the majority of the songs, the instrumental sections are incredible and action packed. Some of the guitar riffs in "When The World stops Spinning" have a strong 1980s rock vibe.  One of the softer tracks "In the Morning Light" features some unique chord progressions and harmonies, although this song ...
