Sharp Sand is the debut single from Reculver a band formed by Luke Purdie and his cousin Si. The cousins are joined by drummer Jarrett (long time friend and collaborator) and bassist Jimi August who together have put together a very impressive sound that is very hard hitting with out being to overpowering.

The tracks themselves were recorded at Ray Davies Klonk Studio where the band just set up plugged in and played and the resulting tracks have been taken from those sessions.

The first track 'Sharp Sand' is great way to introduce the band to the world with its driving guitars and thunderous rhythm section, my only complaint is the length of the track as your just getting into it its over.  The second track 'We Are The People' is another fine track that just oozes class with its catchy licks and equally catchy chorus.

'Wake Up Call' takes the tempo down a notch with its almost acoustic start but soon picks up and hits you from behind when you least expect it as the band give their all in the chorus section, a real classy track.  'The Climb' lets the band show their tender side with this highly emotional track that once again starts off at a slower pace but you can feel the track building up to a crescendo of emotions.

The final track 'Keep Walking' is more of a bluesy rock track that once again the guitars drive the track and the vocals just meander along with ease as your washed away by the sheer brilliance of the track.

All in all if this is the quality of the music and song-writing abilities of the band then keep an eye out for them, as they will certainly be a force to be reckoned with.
