2014, Onto album number four, AT THE CRACK OF DAWN with its eleven tracks throws a few newer dynamic elements into the mix while not forsaking the tried and true Vanderbuyst platform. Right away on the opening title song you'll hear a slower, semi-Middle Eastern riff and equally sultry melodies from Jochem Jonkman, the almost doom groove certain to make this a future set list staple. From there the three-piece mix up gallop-oriented rockers such as ,,Roller-Coaster Ride" and the Thin Lizzy stomper ,,Light My Dynamite" to more straightforward Hard Rock numbers that veer close to American/L.A. Sunset Strip material such as ,,Girl In Heat" or ,,Secret Dancer". Closer ,,Sweet Goodbye" has a Bluegrass, Acoustic feel that for a ballad is in line more with The Beatles or early Van Halen - the chorus very silky and soothing in that psychedelic late 60's/early 70's manner. Their fourth full length in the last five years surely won't lose the band any followers. Digipack.
