Geoff Carne & The Raw Rox Band, The Love Gun E.P. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

For Geoff Carne it was never about what was left, it was always about continuance, the sheer love of creation, so even in the wake of retirement by the colossus that is Mike Hatz, Geoff Carne took the road unbroken and alongside The Raw Rox Band, Arby ‘Slash’ Rockman, Jim Black, Zoki Jovanoski, and Bob Calvery, the muscle, the memory, the music has found a place which honours that what was, but is unafraid to march forward, to take perhaps a different, and in the case of the new E.P. Love Gun, more uninterrupted and giant resounding sound.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

The unannounced Shakedown, the spontaneous, without warning release, is for some who have been unceremoniously locked in a cage and the key removed from their sight, the moment when hope arises; for in that surprise visitation from beyond their vision, comes the source of their salvation, the basis of their belief for the next chapter in their lives.

The key to any success arguably stands in the form of adaption, the ability to move with the tide and time, and place trust in, if not reinvention, then re-emergence, for in that shakedown you are afforded the significance of being the focus of attention, of having a captive audience, and one who will no doubt be entertained by your next move.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Everything returns to the space it once occupied, it might not feel the same, it might not carry the full weight of the vibe that once towered and loomed large over the shadows caught fighting for supremacy alongside nostalgia and reckoning, and yet it still feels homely, the pulse of experience carries it onwards, and there is a new appreciation for how the progression of the art, of the human soul, has been elevated to new standards, new ways of thinking.
