Born out of the Scottish band The Nimmo Brothers, this band were formed in 2008 with guitarist/vocalist Alan Nimmo and bassist Lindsay Coulson. They are a classic blues rock band in the Free/Bad Company/Whitesnake tradition. When you see the band Live you will see how amazing Alan Nimmo is as a performer. He’s a superb vocalist and a killer guitar player, and the band revolve around the talents of this remarkable performer. Nimmo has that warm treacle running off a spoon type of voice that just oozes. Other than Thunder, you just don’t hear bands doing this type of rock anymore with big hooks, big melody, and fat blues rock riffs.
Opening track, She Don’t Gimme No Lovin;, is straight out of the Bad Company songbook – what a great opening! Broken is a superb song that you wish radio would play – if it did, this would be a hit. Where Nimmo’s voice really does shine is on a big power ballad, as the emotion and power in his voice is just amazing, listen to Betrayed Me to see what I mean. My favourite track is the boogie shuffle of I Don’t Wanna Lie, which has a great melody and sing-a-long chorus. I managed to catch them playing in a small hotel bar in Toronto a few years ago and they were great.
9/10 from The Grooveman.
