Revolution Saints, the band that aren’t really a band at all. Three great musicians with Dean Castronovo on drums and vocals, Joel Hoekstra on guitar, Jeff Pilson on bass, and yet they have not written one note on the entire album. Frontiers love child Alessandro Del Vecchio is the main songwriter on all the album and this is basically a Frontiers vanity project.

Does the album sound good, I hear you cry? Well of course it does! Super slick and polished as they try to recreate that classic Journey sound. Dean could sing a Chinese take away menu and it would sound superb, he just has the perfect voice for this music. Hoekstra is a killer melodic player and he deploys the relevant notes to the relevant places in each song.

I can’t help feeling this is Pop Idol for balding men of a certain age with expanding bellies to match. I jest somewhat, but it does feel a bit like a certain type of music done to order. You know what I mean! You roll up to the drive through and give the attendant your order “Can I have Journey quarter pounder with a huge ballad on the side?”

Anyhoo, don’t listen to my cynicism it’s a very well put together record.

7.5/10 from The Grooveman.
