My uncle tells me these bands were great

Led by Radio Birdman guitarist Chris ‘Klondike’ Masuak it’s no wonder that Klondike’s North 40 have managed to create this rocking power-pop album. Although the melodically abundant guitars make this album, the other musicians are also of respectable musical backgrounds. Helping to rebuild a sound dissolved over time is Scott Morgan from the legendary Sonic’s Rendezvous Band, Angie Pepper of The Passengers and John Rooney from Orange Humble Band and The Lonleyhearts – all on the mic! Generally the vocal performances get the job done, with layered vocals you don’t really hear much anymore. However, the lyrics are rather basic. The drums, keyboards and bass are adequate too, yet one can’t help but feel that they’re there to give the guitars a break every once a while. That isn’t a bad thing of course, because obviously this is a guitar album, and when that’s taken into account it’s a very decent one.
