Masters Of Reality does sound like a bit of a cheesy name. Trying locate them on MySpace is not easy if you don’t know what you are looking for being as the name isn’t particularly original. Their music however, kind of is.

Achieving a slot in the Top 40 Rock Chart we have a band that have released various bits of material. Pine/Cross Dover their 5th album is soulful, rythymatic and produced very well. Collectively they are very experienced indeed. This is a mature band that are really good at putting together a record that has a mix of various sounds without it sounding like a mess. It is a touch psychedelic as well which makes it easy to listen to and easy is what I like at times, I don’t know about you.

There are tracks you can nod to, swing to and of course rock to. The tunes are tight though, very tightly done and there is no showing of which some guitarists tend to do and ruin a perfectly good track with their ego-showboating. None of that here. Just simply great harmonious strumming. Blissful, almost refreshing. VT In IT is a cracking example, Classic Rock. Dreamtime Stomp, also a brilliant little number.

This is an album that doesn’t blow my socks of whilst still being attached to my paraboots nor does it smash the internal hammer and anvil behind my lugholes. This is good, steady and solid, that is the reality of it and something they have mastered.

A track of their previous work. These boys are a very good group which I feel are seriously underfunded as well as rated.
