Dynamite the Liberator is another of those bands that makes me feel all grown-up when I come to write a review. Perhaps there is a recollection of the likes of Yes and Deep Purple, which to my young ears at the time of their hey-day seemed so complicated, in fact more complex than Bach to a 9 year old ears. But that is just my sensibilities.

This is highly accessible music to all and sundry, what the quartet do demonstrate is a superb sense of composition. Funk, Blues, rock and roll are encase the space in which the band straddle. There is a sense of maturity in the vocal and out-put which adds a layer of reflective dissonance which plays well with the spacey tracks.

This is music which you  kind of feel a smart pair of trousers, shiny shoes and sharply pressed shirt is expected, but let yourself imbibe the material for a while and the soul can relax in the sound wending its way around the ears.

I enjoy the way the band has blended together so quickly and it is of little surprise they are garnering a decent local following and Dynamite the Liberator may well be a band heading your way quite soon.
