"This is the eagerly awaited debut album from the North East of Scotlands finest - Mine Gone Blind (MGB), a four piece band consisting of Gary Moyes (Vocals), Shane Younie (Guitar), Michael Forrest (Bass) & Rob Hendry (Drums) that owes its roots to the clubs and pubs of Elgin, Banff and the like.

Well I wasn't disappointed - from the first track to the last this album hits you right between the eyes with excellent vocals and guitar rifts from days gone but brought straight up to date with the unique sound of MGB, beware because if you like your music more 'thrashy' then this isn't for you.

The first track 'Say You Will' could have come out of the back catalogue of the likes of Free & Hendrix - yes its that good, sound clear lyrics and guitar breaks with a catchy melodic beat. 'Fragile' is a rockier track best served loud with very good vocals from Gary Moyes reminding you of being on your bike on the open road.

'Somebody Else' has haunting melodic tones showing how tightly knit this band is. 'Liars & Preachers' is the title track and showcases how good a musician Shane is on guitar along with the rest of the band, as does the rest of the album finishing off with the awesome 'Just'.

What becomes apparent from the outset is that this is a band that can play good old Rock 'n' Blues with the best of them but, although similar in style to bands both old and new, have a sound of their own. I recommend you go to their website and listen to this album.

The Unforgiven he say - 4/5
