Federal Charm
– Federal Charm (Mystic Records).
Manchester’s Federal Charm has released a debut album that
befits a true Rock band. This is a joy from start to finish and classic Rock
themes abound from Too Blind To See, the stinging and throbbing Reaction and Any
Other Day. Their Blues influences appear on The Stray and the rocking I’m Not
Gonna Beg. They are explosive (Gotta Give It Up, Tell Your Friends),
smouldering (Reconsider) and electric (No Money Down). Highlights are the slow
burning Somebody Help Me and the ultra-quick There’s A Light. Vocalist Nick
Bowden and guitarist Paul Bowe are top notch and live performances will be
electric.
