The 19th Street Band, Diamond In The Rough. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision 9/10

Some people aspire to be seen as something they can never be, others to shine and lure like untapped gold in a seam, for the special breed though, for those that choose to reflect light and make a room full of people gasp at how they are then seen, to be the Diamond in the Rough is the understanding that being special is not about making others envious, to make them seethe and writhe in jealousy, but to make them feel good about life, to make them believe in their own self-worth.

The 19th Street Band, The Things That Matter. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

We all understand The Things That Matter and yet as 21st Century beings we find ourselves continually cut adrift from them, we have cut so many ties to family, to friends, to the past and to nature, we have chased the Dollar, the Pound and the Euro, we have greedily sought to own more, abuse our bodies, as well as our surroundings, we have lost sight of The Things That Matter, so much so that it could be remarked that we have become shadows on a mural; inconsequential, pretty to look at but faded by remorse and Time.
