Soft music, semi-abrasive, powerful voice with Irish tone, delivering symbolic, semi-politically themed lyrics, a subtle hint of 90s grunge... All of this sounds familiar. Like U2, Coldplay or The Fray, It's been done before. And yet I can't help but like it every time. If there is honesty in this genre, it makes the formula sound fresh and new. Sometimes the glitz and the glam aren't necessary when the performance, the song and the music are solid, and just left to be what they are.
