EDGE OF THE BLADE around frontman John Francis (AFTER HOURS) totally delivers here, though his voice at times might not be everybody’s cup of tea. \u201cDistant Shores\u201c is British melodic rock with a certain amount of hard rock of the finest sort (\u201cFeel The Fire\u201c, \u201cKilling Me\u201c or \u201cWait Forever”) which means great songwriting for the most part and a powerful production which lets the songs breathe and which is almost reminiscent of a decent classic live sound. But also classic AOR in the vein of the masters of JOURNEY or STARSHIP can occasionally be found on this third record of the band (\u201cLove Me Again\u201c). \u201cEvery Beat Of My Heart\u201c, the closing track, offers a bit of drama and pathos but will stick in your ear as most of the rest, too. Alan Kelly (ex SHY) on drums is a well known protagonist of the genre. To cut a long story short: \u201cDistant Shores\u201c is pretty much suitable also for fans of HEAVY PETTIN\u2019, THUNDER, FM or TRISHULA. Great to still have lots of bands around that play this very kind of style as if time stands still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
