"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."
