Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
Punk was never meant to be seen as a gesture which would be looked back upon as a friendly wave of nostalgia, it was meant to terrify, to shake the rotten and self-centred to their core, and to signal a change in how we see the world, to open our eyes to the future and allow a sense of True Motion to begin.

As time passes, we are perhaps less inclined to constantly look for the new, always in favour of hanging on what makes us smile at certain memories, the echo of the new sound one that we cannot be blamed for trying to avoid. It is part of life; we refuse to acknowledge that anything can comfortably draw the same breadth of comparison as what we have built up in our minds as the epitome of our love.

When the Personal Sin is over, all that remains is to be taken to the Boneyard to account for all you have done and rest assured that all you have done is beyond reproach; for Reuben Archer that thought is surely always there, for the sense of understanding that comes with always wanting to do more than what might be perceived as your best, to take the narrative one stage further and give life to a complete and rounded individual, is the point of searching for excellence that Reuben Archer insists upon.

If you really want to know how to get out of the rat race and restore your own life balance, to plan The Great Escape and inspire others to see that world needs more loose cannons willing to express the disaffection of their souls whilst proudly, and ferociously, offering ways to lighten the mood and find a way to rock in the best traditions of AC/DC or Airbourne, then it might just fall to the four riders of the new Aussie-calypse to provide the combined measure of the fight response that breaking free from the self-placed chains produces.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
We only ever witness the impact of a momentous event from a certain perspective, we may only realise there has been one long after the occurrence happened, so immersed in our own world, seeking out a path of the least resistance and the moment in which our own star shines, that we only see the glow of the night as it lights up the shadows that have already been experienced by others.

We seem to want to play a cosmic game of Truth or Dare with Karma and Fate, with Time. There seems to be a consensus amongst certain groups of people to see how far we can push the Earth past the tipping point, and what does that matter as long as those particular individuals have their own trough lined with gold and the fires always burning.

It is easy to get lost in the lush jungle that a modern symphony can provide, especially when it is one person’s vision that brings it to life. However, the prevailing concertos is such that has the ability to make us feel more than the stirring effects and goose bumps that one might have considered unbeatable over the last few centuries, the immaculate sense of pride that was paraded, marched unhindered from orchestra to the stalls as if attached to nationalist fervour and demand, has now thankfully been replaced by a more subtle, straightforward realisation that pomp and ceremony are figures of a past that has no place when we realise that Earth Is Not A Place For Lovers.

Love Will Find A Way, that is what we are taught, that is the hope of the ones who see the promise at the end of romance that such times will be found once more, that love is forever, even if the times and the people involved may change.
There was always a thought that Liverpool’s Hegarty, one of the most enjoyable of bands to have made the last decade their home, might never taste such moments again, that the beauty in their music might never be recaptured, be seen as part of the next decade, life does move on, times change, but as the old saying goes, form may be temporary, but class is forever, permanent and always found to devoted to the creation.

You don’t always have to have a plan, there is not always the need to plot and connive your way to producing something that you hope will stir the imagination in others. Invariably the dialect of the Muse is such that we often strain to believe their song, that sometimes the best avenue of pursuit is to let the rabbit trails take you on a journey of surprise and investigation, a system of delivery that is not so much steeped in strategy, but in the belief that Dream Hunting is the place in which visions unfold.

We see the Muse as a physical body, imagined perhaps with the ideals we seek out in those that make our hearts quicken, even skip a beat, as they call out like sirens held close between the rocks of sharpened perception, and the rough seas of hope that is always present, but which can turn to despair and take us down to the depths of our soul’s resilience. The Muse is painted as such to appeal, to make us recognise the human value in artistic pursuit, but sometimes it would be worth stepping back and seeing the Muse as something else entirely, as a place rather than a human being.
