Third Day (2)

These five Weston, Ontario guys are hard-rockin’ as you’d expect with Tunesmith, but they’ve also got a strong progressive component, as well as some melodic jazz-rock influences. Nice crisp production, potent guitar leads coupled with dynamic synthesizer action. Varied moods, from bona fide crunchers like ‘Covenant’ and ‘Revelation’ to impelling ballads (‘His Yoke Is Easy’ and ‘He Holds The Sun’). Also a 6:30 jazzy art-rock instrumental called ‘It’s A New Day’. Most songs written by lead guitarist Lazarus Varla.
