Well, we all asked for it and now it is here. The brand-new release from the amazing TR5s. would you believe it’s been over a year since we got the first release “Triumph” in December 2023. Since then, the band have just gone wild, and they still want more. They have backed some modern-day rockers since forming three years ago, Lee Rocker(stray cats) “Geno Washington” and the “mighty Nine Below Zero” and became one of the Labels fastest selling Artist. always known as the secret of surrey but now known across the land as one of the best bands on the circuit. The five piece band play a great mixture of Genres in a style that comes right from the heart of the Musicians playing it. You get to hear the 1950s blended in with 1960s beat and still leave enough room to keep it modern. This is a band that are leaping ahead on this music fronts with its freshness, Freedom and willingness to update a sound, a style and a genre. Rusty’s vocals are again built on the Legends before her, but every Legend would be proud to own those vocals chords. Simply sublime band. Keep Rockin Guys.
Normally I would do a track by track review, but you don’t need one. Everyone is great and when you buy it you will see. Just sit back with the volume up and ENJOY.
