What christian rock should be . . . Strong and Bold!
I bought the debut album from Fighting Instinct about two months ago after hearing the track I Found Forever, one time. That's is all it took. I was immediately hooked by the energy and emotion that drove the song. I knew I had to have the CD. Every track, 1 through 10, has that same intensity and force that initially gripped me. With the overwhelming guitar sounds and dynamic vocals, I couldn't get enough of it. It has been in my CD player since day one and has not come out. Each track is done with great engineering and production taste. Not a ton of effects that muddy up the texture of the sounds. It has such an under processed, raw sound that it almost feels like you are in the studio booth with the musicians as they are playing it. The style is definitely southern heavy metal. These guys have great feel and some obvious chemistry taking place. You can tell that a couple of songs were tweaked for radio airplay and lack a little charm, but the overall momentum is quite hard to deny. I would recommend this CD to anyone who is a fan of Creed or Big Dismal, except with a southern punch to it.Read full review...
Who said Christian influenced rock couldn't be cool ?
Sadly this CD will be overlooked and shoved to the bottom of every radio station's playlist because it falls under the Christian rock tag,and shame on every program director for not giving this a listen for that reason, you guys are so suppose to be the first to expose us to new bands on the edge of cracking the charts and opening up for major air play.
If you like Saliva, Foo Fighters , Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd or Shinedown this CD will blow you away. It is full of loud and proud US HOME GROWN ROCK MUSIC.
I caught the track I Found Forever on WDHA in New Jersey, thank you boys for playing it and giving me A&R info to track this CD down. What a great rocking track to lead off this CD, Crush , Light My Way, and Back To You are more great follow up tracks, strong vocals and harmonies make these young men stand out, plus some good old loud guitar just give this entire Cd a great sound. Yes there are a couple of ballads for the girls and some more personal lyrics with God and Christ in mind,and girls and love and heartbreak.
So what, does every body have to curse to sound cool, no it just has to sound great when you turn up the volume and your friends say, hey, who are these guys, this is great!
I hope this CD finds it's way into your CD player, just a simple thank you by email would be nice and then turn someone else on to this outstanding CD.Read full review...
Best CD I have heard in years!
Why this CD did not top the charts is beyond me-the music simply kicks butt. I saw them the 1st time in Jacksonville, FL live when they opened for REO Speedwagon and these guys (Fighting Instinct) blew everyone in the audience away-they got more standing ovations than REO that night. Buy it and it will never leave your disc player!Read full review...
