Crimson Stained
Untitled release
Reviewed by Brian Vincent McGovern
The most immediately noticeable thing about this band is voice of Justin Toler which rivals the strength and passion of Vedder without being a copycat. "Comfort Zone" should have been left off the record, but "Selah" is a beautiful instrumental that marries violin and electric guitar that could turn more heads if the production was a little cleaner, and the more organic "Job" is an intriguing piece sounding like a cross between Live and Hootie.
