Candlefuse delivers a spark with their debut, Never Go Unheard. Ben Honeycutt, Drew Garrett and Steven Howell borrow stylistically from almost every genre-defining band of the last two decades. Their anthemic sound is influenced by the likes of U2, Matchbox20, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and The Goo Goo Dolls.
Smoldering guitar work and crisp, pounding drums serve as the backbone that shapes their sound. The liberal and varied use of effects processors and guitar pedals add distinctiveness to each track and epitomize the songs of Never Go Unheard.
These guys deliver a scorching take on the modern worship anthem Hungry (Falling On My Knees). Other standout tracks include: Bulletproof, Turn Around and Shut Your Eyes. If there's an area for improvement, it's in the somewhat bland and sometimes forced lyrics of several tracks. Flickers of the untapped potential of this band abound throughout the album though and the promise of Candlefuse's future appears bright indeed.
