All Else Failed

A Most Bitter Season

Tied Down/Temperance

Heavy, but also very melodic. Like a cross between PRY and Song of Kerman… possibly. The two-singer setup really works well. Most “duets” end up sounding like Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton singing hardcore… but not with these guys. Seven songs are all you get, but they are all you need to keep you satisfied. I’d be very interested to see All Else Failed live, they sound like a powerhouse on CD… Temperance Records, P.O. Box 685, Northfield, NJ 08225; temprecs@intserv.com
