‘Friend’ offers more stylish rock soul from the Northern trio.

Phil Udell, 08 Oct 2003

Well, what do you know? It’s the Papenfus boys themselves! ‘Friend’ offers more stylish rock soul from the Northern trio, drifting pleasantly by without ever really grabbing your attention. Serviceable – but it’s still missing that special something that made ‘Rainbow Zephyr’ so appealing.

Relish

With an exhausting tour schedule already behind them it’s only fair to expect Relish to be a tightly knit unit but it’s their unwavering enthusiasm and good cheer that surprises and lends the sound an unmistakeable sheen of charisma.

Karma Calling

Relish want to be a Big Band. There’s no mistaking that. Karma Calling, their second L.P. was not written for toilet gigs.

Wildflowers

After what seems like (and probably is) half a decade on the road, the much-touted Downpatrick trio finally get to release an album. It's clearly a big budget affair too with no expense spared. Kicking off on familiar territory with the epic, multi-layered single that is 'Rainbow Zephyr', it continues with the hard driving, generic rock of 'Heart Shaped Box'.
