In the beginning, there was a band in Norway called Headstone. After playing support for URIAH HEEP and touring with QUIREBOYS in Ireland, they recorded a demo with top producer NICK TAUBER (DEF LEPPARD, UFO, MARILLION and DEEP PURPLE) in WINDMILL LANE Studios, Dublin. After several chances of the band members they came finally to this line-up: KEITH KRISTIANSEN (guitars, keyboards, backing vocals) PATRICK SIMONSEN (lead vocals, guitars) ROD RUTLE (drums) STEVE TITZ (bass, backing vocals) TERRY SMITH (Hired Piano/Organ). They started the songs, in a style that has had its antecedents in JOURNEY, FOREIGNER, JOHN WAITE, VAN HALEN, HEART and THE BABYS. The CD has a wonderful Sound, so it´s taken and mixed very well. At once the first song „The Restless Ones“ joy hits correctly into the ear purely well and makes you feel to hear on more. A little aggressive guitars but also extremely well, therefore I find the song great. „Don´t Turn Around“ is a very harmonious ballad. Make one think correctly. One should certainly listen to the text here. With an little smoother song it goes further. „Till We Become The Sun“ is underlined with an akkustik guitar. Very sensible and a perfect voice join here as well. „Don´t Say Goodnight“, „Is it Good enough?“ and „Another Girl“ are in the middle speed and nothing special. The second ballad is „Forever“. Personal it is too boring, I doesn't produce real feeling here. „Like Love“ is to much country-like for me. Simonsens voice reminds me of Tyketto singers Danny Vaughn, also a little Whitesnake breathed here strongly, however, doesn't hit me of the stool. “The Real Thing“ is already a little better. A little blues, a little akkustik/electrical equipment guitar with terrific unusual Sound. Has one dragged along correctly. The last song „In My Dreams“ raises strange tones as the only song. A mix from continual keyboard sounds which remind of bongos with a beautiful guitars/keyboard solo.The results now speak for themselves as the band has produced a crisp sounding recording and a truly exciting and fresh piece of melodic hard rock!
