Magic Wave are a good old blues based metal outfit, playing in a style not to dissimilar to the great Led Zeppelin, with just a hint of Black Sabbath and dear old Guns 'n Roses thrown in for good measure.

Luckily Magic Wave are fine musicians in their own right and stamp their own style on the album, with excellent songs, first class musicianship and vocals that portray the songs perfectly.

Magic Wave have to be taken seriously, hey, I had a great time groovin to 'Get Down'.
I drifted away on a cloud to the wonderful ballad 'If You Were Here', and couldn't resist getting my old tennis racket out for 'Cannonball'.

But its on the longer tracks that Magic Wave really shine.
'Living Wreck' with it's sinister, almost death like intro and psychedelic programming and 'Door' with it's manic vocal attack coupled with excellent lead guitar parts show what Magic Wave are really capable off.

Hey, I loved this and anybody who knows anything about music will.
Can't wait for the follow up.
This album is self-released
