Suckerpunch'd 2022

"This album is the result of a fruitful writing partnership between guitarist Azhar Kamal, born in Pakistan, and vocalist John Jones from the USA. The songs were recorded during a live-in-the-studio session in Munich. Conceptually this evolves with the approach to deal with boxing themes. For instance the simply perfect track 'Blow' is intensively inspired by watching sparring during box training. This will need several listening rounds to prove its covered brilliance."

"This is an intriguing blend of sophisticated art rock and hypnotic vocals. Add to that the slightly disturbing vocals and lyrical themes, and you're in for an interesting ride! On first listen it didn't really grasp me, but now on second listen, and knowing a little more about background (the album is about boxing/sparring) it begins to fall into place."
