Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *
The song that revels in its ability to dig away into the emotions of happiness and the beginnings of melancholy is to be lauded and acknowledged. It is the sense of art imitating the mind, the sense of imposter syndrome that inflicts its tell-tale signs of destructive patterns and stating that nobody deserves to feel joy, when in actual fact the smile on somebody’s face should be the most paramount of expressions to behold.

The God-Mother of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Susie Quattro, would arguably be proud of the continuation of her vision, that of female rock that doesn’t capitulate to the notion that to be taken seriously does not mean betraying everything that you stand for just so you can get noticed. Yes, there was the patent alure that went with the gravitas of the music played by Ms. Quattro, however, like Sweden’s Thundermother, it is the storm created by the Heatwave that brings the joy of Rock to the ears of the listener, the heavy pound of a heart in love with the music on offer.

Every now and then a tune will come at you bearing gifts, the gentle hug of appreciation, the extreme lullaby of the taken opportunity coming at the listener with strength, guile and the beauty of the moving whimsical address; many will hit the nail of such serenades on the head, few though get the chance to drive the point home in one complete action, the swift delivery of the hammer to the cause.

In times of adversity, even the smallest gesture can bring about the greatest change, and a voice given to sincerity, of honour, will give hope to many, and even if the subject matter at hand is one of concern, of clenched fist and tears in the eyes, there is still hope to be found.
It is only natural in the times we live in that we have to delay certain plans, to put back the clock on experience and release, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop living, to hold back on dreams or desires, and art, for the multitude and majority, is the place where their own existence on the planet is made concrete, which gives them a reason to be.

You could take a straw poll of your friends and family and come up with varying degrees of answers, from the perplexing, through to the bizarre and on to the thoughtfully played out, of how dreams are meant to be observed, studied, and even relieve the soul of the burden they may carry.
Dreaming is such an intrinsic part of human existence, and yet we pay it less regard than chasing the product of those visions, and the benefit of introspection, of interpretation, is lost, allowed to fade into nothing.

The journey is judged by the beauty and response of its reflection, not by the speed in which it is undertaken. The blur of time is such that we as individuals find that we spend so much of our life trying to understand the appeal of the light, that we forget our presence is often demanded in the Shadowland, the place between darkness and the illuminated, where we can act as guides, as voices of reason to those who have wandered too far into the realm of obscure endings and rattling conclusions.

How you spend time when you forced to be apart from all that you love, all that deeply care for, can be enlightening, illuminating… cathartic, and whilst it is enough to survive, that is important to endure the single punishment of isolation, the fear of collective worry that comes in the shape of humanity’s damnation, to strive beyond those Quarantine Blues and produce art, to seek guidance and passion from a place outside of the normal parameters is to arguably deal a personal hand of favour to others, to give them a piece of your soul so that they have their own blues lessened.

Timely is the country that listens, blessed is the country that learns, whether it is from its mistakes, or from its humility in victory, a country that finds ways to be conciliatory and proactively willing to offer the hand of friendship to its enemy, can look itself in the mirror and say, we also too can add to civilisation and honour.
It is honour and a special breed of insightfulness in observation that brings Darlin’ Brando’s latest recording, Also, Too, to the public’s attention, an album of musical glory and appetite, but one that also speaks volumes of how a low point in life can bring the change needed to gain a more enlightened perspective.

When the joint is jumping, the heart follows suit, but it is the soul that is in command of the timing and the beat. The feast of music is enjoyed, the sound is respected, and it is down to soul, that inner being craving both peace and flavour, that cooks and brings fire to the very core of all who allow themselves to be captured by the sense of the exotic, and the rhythm of the mysterious and the mass musical effect.

That’s What I Heard, the song that catches the fire in our in our imagination, or the scurrilous whisper which transforms in time to the unremitting, unforgiving rumour; there is a way to decern between the two states of conscious feedback, just look to the one with the sincerest voice and which praises with nothing to gain from having done so.
