"Take equal parts southern rock (The Allman
Brothers), and retro 80's new wave(The Cars),add one teaspoon of
modern alternative sound (REM),sprinkle with some
Blues,shake well,very well, and pour over ample
portions of the Gospel and serve.Add volume to taste
and chow down. Now you will begin to grasp the
fundamental Rock'n'Roll sound of Wales Road. This
Rochester area bands latest release, Candleshine, is
an up tempo, hard driving, collection of tracks that
will easily slide into the libraries of music lovers
from 15 to 50.
A mixture of familiar and enjoyable
sounds blend with a panorama of lyrics to subtly bring
forth the Gospel and testimony. This message,lying
across a verbal landscape, awaits discovery on
Candleshine...Wales Road delivers a package of hope
and salvation wrapped in a wonderful collage of
songs...On the second to last track,'In A Blink',is
the advice to consider your ways and get right with
God for He is coming back in the blink of an eye. It
is this type of allegorical theme that makes
Candleshine a work worth considering."
