Road To Eden

Product Information

I am so, so overjoyed that America is finally getting to know this amazing band who’s music they were denied for all these years. Something else about the album is that most of them are between 3-5 minutes long and yet sound like epics.

Rewind to 2010 and the Welsh-born trio of Tom Hollister, Chris Buck and Adam Roberts were riding a wave of hype, hotly-tipped by some of the biggest names in rock - most notably Steve Winwood who invited the band to record at his storied Wincraft Studios.A kind of revamped “Blood On Blood” by Bon Jovi, but its difficult to shake the thoughts of Phil Lynott here. P.; a first gig to a hometown capacity crowd at Cardiff Castle; back-to-back sold-out Academy tours with Myles Kennedy, then The Struts; a highly-anticipated debut album due this Autumn, heralded by a live set recording in the Beatles’ legendary Studio Two at Abbey Road in London. The one for the ones who got away and might have stayed if things had been different, a vibe that “I Always Will” carries on in truth.

A pensive, personal yet universal love song that has resonated with many since its release in January, the song sees John reflecting on their lifetime well spent and in particular one of their happiest moments together in Hawaii. Some already are, some are dead and the rest of us erode in the belly of prehistoric ideology which depending on our abilities and willingness, assigns to each of us varying levels of comfort that range from horrible to reasonably acceptable, based on contribution.He’s backed by harmonising chants of “aloha”, the Hawaiin term that is both a greeting and a farewell. This edition featured alternate cover art, a rearranged track list, remixed sound, and the addition of a previously unreleased bonus track, "Cold Wind Will Blow". So you get the best of both worlds here – the moody classic Dare mixed with a generally more uptempo vision, with guitars taking a more prominent role and really driving home these songs. The accompanying music video makes the band larger-than-life and draws you further and further into the song’s world. The album features singles Riding Man and Today which received high praise and championed on BBC London and Radio X and a collaboration with Paul Weller on the song Tunnel Of Time.

Since early 2020 Josh has been entertaining us with exclusive monthly live sessions, streamed via Facebook.The admiration Darren had and has for the legendary singer/bass player is once again displayed in the great rocking track ,,Only The Good Die Young’’. Although the band could never enjoy a big break-through, the quintet delivered well-crafted longplayers all along the way and offered good quality songs. Lovers And Friends” is a stripped down ballad, for this collection, but it’s layers of keyboard are really special. Lovers and Friends’ is even lusher, a wonderfully orchestrated ballad that sweeps you up in its soft arms.
