Right from the off Chemical Addiction have you hook, line and sinker with the grooviest of hooks and the coolest of vibes, which teleport you straight back to that seismic Seattle grunge scene which dominated the early nineties and beyond. Laced in cool vibrations and dripping in rhapsodic pleasures, this is music that will have your head swivelling and pirouetting to every beat and every chugging riff.

The Grief are yet another great Irish band tirelessly plying their trade, crafting brilliant and original compositions, but with a very dignified tip of the cap to all that has gone before it. A superb release.

Call Of The Mountain closes with its own death march, the acoustic and deeply sullen Bas. Forlorn lamentations haunt and cascade over the music before getting lost in the ether, and disappearing into nothingness, ending an album that sees Grey Stag take a giant leap in terms of song writing and delivery. Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by Aidan Cunningham, Call Of The Mountain is an outstanding piece of work, from start to finish. Grey Stag have truly dug their hooves in and have released a beast of an album.
