The Brew – The Third Floor (Jazzhaus Records).






Already a highly regarded live act on the Continent, The Brew are now making an assault on their native land with this, their third album. With classic rock style they unleash the opener Sirens Of War and follow it up with Six Dead, Master And The Puppeteer and Imogen Molly. Contemporary rock is in the form of Reached The Sky and Prog rock appears slightly in Crimson Crystal Raindrops. Acoustic tracks such as See You Once Again and Hard Times allows vocalist Jason Barwick to showcase his voice, albeit going a little too much towards Bono at times. Barwick is also the guitarist of the outfit and apart from his wailing solo on Master And The Puppeteer and acoustic slide on Hard Times it is the big, powerful sounds of Piper Of Greed and the solo on the title track that has him excelling. Don’t miss Kurtis Smith’s drum solo at the end of the album as it’s hidden at the end of the closing track Let It Back.
