Alberta Cross: Broken Side Of Time
London’s Alberta Cross debut with Broken Side Of Time, an addictive slab of soulful hard rock.
Petter Ericson Stakee’s lead-guitar work is a treat, spiking songs with semi-tones that complement a vocal style uncannily like that of Terry Reid, a man whose taut upper register almost had him fronting Led Zeppelin.
Ghost Of The City Life and Rise From The Shadows really see the stops getting pulled.

VERDICT: 4/5
