“Despite Guardian Angels”
(Unicorn)
I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it many times more but I have a fondness for Canadian bands. Don’t know where it comes from but for some reason I get a bit more excited when I have an album by a Canadian band before me. I don’t know why but for some reason I got a 70s vibe listening to this. There is a laid back attitude to this that makes for a much appreciated break from all the hectic stress of everyday life. I also get a Marillion kinda feeling circa their debut album when I listen to this album. There is a progressive air to this that just brings with it a feeling of joy. It is hard not to mention Rush when you talk about Canadian progressive rock/metal bands but this time around there is that vibe to it too. Another new Canadian favourite. Anders Ekdahl
