This tape starts off with some rollicking and romping classic rock. It almost even feels like a throw back to 70s rock in several places. I don’t know enough about this kind of music to know what specific bands they are influenced by, but I do recognize many of the sounds that I listen to on classic rock radio stations (which I guess are now oldies stations due to classic rock now being 80s and 90s music?). But my (very limited) guess would be The Eagles, CCW, Beach Boys, etc. But I know that the idea of someone in the Christian underground trying to sound like this would scare many away. I get that, and would probably be there with you, but I actually do enjoy this tape. Which I didn’t expect.
