Great to see Dave again and he was really rockin’. The new songs
are really strong and I can’t wait for the album to come out.
(Jason Bradley)
The band were on top form and powered their way through new
songs and old – the new songs are sounding great – Holy Walkin’, Heartbeat, House of Mercy – the new album is going to be a killer!
…
It was a historical moment in the life of any Alarm fan and I feel privileged to
have been there.
