Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - "Nothin To Do With Love"

Christian rock tends to get a pretty bad rap these days - I'm not entirely sure if it's deserved or not (since I'm not Christian, I tend not to listen to the genre, and devotional lyrics grate on my nerves). So, when I was recommended the latest album, Chess Hotel, from The Elms, a band that had released its first two albums on a Christian label, I was hesitant. I'm glad I picked it up, though, because it has become one of the best albums I bought in 2006.

The band's has been compared to some blend of The Black Crowes, Aerosmith and Oasis, which I can kind of see, although they rock a hell of a lot harder than Oasis. This is one of those straight-ahead, no-holds-barred rock albums and the track I've put up, "Nothin' To Do with Love", typifies the band's style.

As always, just press ZAP on the player to listen. And if you like it, make sure to pick up the album for yourself.
