Tomorrow Is Lost - 'Therapy'
Album Review
It’s welcome to the big time for young Geordie hopefuls, Tomorrow is Lost. They have come of age with this excellent debut album which is set to be released by US label, Eclipse on 13th March.
The band have been building up support and goodwill around the country with their very enjoyable live performances but they’ve clearly also been working hard on their song writing and playing as this is a very mature effort. It’s all wrapped up in a big sound too, courtesy of production and mixing by Dave Boothroyd and Jon Astley respectively.
They’re probably one of the few bands to have played both Bloodstock and HRH AOR and that’s reflected in their fresh, modern rock. It’s heavy, very heavy in places, but with plenty melody and some great hooks – check out the single / video ‘Wildchild’ which marries the two elements perfectly and also the light and shade of songs like the epic ‘Too Young To Know’.
Current single ‘Hideaway’ showcases the band’s musicality and the sassy vocals of Cass King. Always a charismatic live performer, Cass displays both power and vulnerability on record. In fact there’s quite a dark streak running through this release, most notably on tracks like ‘Self Destruct’ and ‘Black and Blue’ alongside upbeat stormers such as ‘Electric’.
Songs like ‘Therapy’, ‘Pause Rewind’ and ‘White Noise’ are top quality; lively and infused with an originality and spirit which should appeal to a broad spectrum of rock fans. Don’t underestimate these guys – they’ve young but they can really play and they’ve got something special going on here.
The official album launch show is in Newcastle on 11th April. We already know they’re a great live band so it will be fun to see them taking these tunes out on the road. Nice cover art too – that will make for a nice tour shirt.
