EVERYDAY HEROES
A Tale Of Sin & Sorrow
(Self Release)
8/10
Blues/Southern Rock continues its seemingly relentless ascent to the genre’s summit and now Welsh rockers, Everyday Heroes are joining the spur heeled throng up this particular musical mountain. The vocals have just the right amount of rasp swirled in with a stubborn note holding attitude while the riffs are salacious and the overall southern flavoured rhythm section throws everything in their locker at this cocksure debut. Opener ‘Texas Red’ fires silver bullets indiscriminately across the Blues-Rock ship’s bow while the gambling, Colt 45 and saloon shooting swagger continues on the impressive ‘Find My Way’ which could well prove a festival favourite if we ever get back out there. ‘Standing Stones’ is a barroom brawl, gun in my back Southern Rock thumper that has more than a magpie likeness to the modern masters, Black Stone Cherry but then so do most bands waving this particular musical flag. ‘The Witch’s King’, ‘Soul To Save’ and the cowpoke punk of ‘Victorious’ (Take My Chains)’ are all well-crafted and well-delivered if not a tad familiar. It is an unwritten rule that every Blues/Southern Rock album must have at least one machismo ballad of lost love, a clenched fist holding a shot glass and a tattooed male (usually in a white wife-beater) looking mournfully into a truck stop bathroom mirror after dunking his head in a basin of water and ‘The Crow’ delivers this possible video in spades. As ballads go it’s not the worst while ‘West Of Wherever’ returns us to planet rock before album closer ‘Without A Throne’ meanders across the finishing line. ‘A Tale Of Sin And Sorrow’ is ultimately a thoroughly enjoyable lockdown listen which is stays true to it’s itself and Rock’s ever-expanding genre. Hopefully, we’ll be witnessing Everyday Heroes in the live arena very soon, y’all.
