Sharp Practise are a classic rock band but not an over the top screaming yelling rock n' roll monster, this is the sound of a band who like to keep things quiet and wouldn't say no to an acoustic set, but not tonight: tonight they wanna rock. And rock they do.
The Dukester
Songs such as "Morgan's Creek" or "Family Of Nations" are actually typical radio material and better than 99% of what the major stations offer⦠it should not surprise me if the Englishmen are recognised at the "Rock Of Ages" festival. Matthias Decklar, My Revelations, Germany
The songs are very melodic, with strong catchy choruses and impressive vocal work as well as some high quality guitar work, so all together this is a highly recommended. One of the best songs is definitely the catchy uptempo melodic rocker âChoice Not Freedomâ which should be an instant hit here in Europe! No fillers included - a great original classic rock record.
Strutter Magazine, Holland
Sharp Practise bring ten songs that are both catchy, but also have depthâ¦somewhat of a rarity in today's world. Therefore, 7.5 of 10 Rock Times watches honestly earned. Rocktimes, Germany
Do you believe that there aren't any more bands from England that play the classic rock that we all love? Then you surely haven't listened to the latest album from Sharp Practise⦠you will experience a modern band playing classic rock tunes with a fresh air. Their compositions are well worked, with some really interesting ideas and the band has imbued their record with a pure rock 'nâroll feeling. Antonis Maglaras, Beyond The Veil, Greece
I very much enjoyed the album - fantastic music indeed! Without cdbaby people like me could hardly discover great bands like yours!
Rainer Knietzsch, Germany
Sharp Practise prove themselves to be adept at loud'n'hooky rockers, brash and moving anthems and plaintive guitar pop, like on "No Thanks" - which with its acerbic lyrical stabs (e.g. "I've been in tighter spots than this/ falling out with you is a lifetime study") - is the kind of thing Neil Finn has made his trademark over the years.

Radiocity is a kind of hit collection, all tracks could be singles, and they could be radio and TV hits as well.
Kronosmortus, Hungary
"No Thanks" and "How Katie Feels" are the most obvious hits from the record, as both carry catchy enough choruses to grab a spot at the radio airwaves especially here in Denmark - this is exactly the type of music P3 plays all the time. Rockfreaks, Denmark
âNo Thanksâ and âBed Of Rhythmâ are two rock gems in which the addition of female backing vocals elevate the choruses to epic proportions⦠Where this album undeniably does well is serving up big poppy choruses that have already invaded radio playlists the world over.
Herts & Essex music review, UK
This kind of music will go far on the radio/charts, no doubt... clean hooks, well-played & full of great energy... This one gets a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Improvijazzination Nation, USA
Radiocity is their ten-track epic of travel on various levels. Sharp Practise's lyrics are filled with imagery and their production is crisp and clean. Sharp Practise's music is focused and the band is well rehearsed to take the UK and the world by storm!
Laura Turner, Kweevak.com, USA
Special mention must go to album closer âHow Do You Take Itâ which manages to successfully marry both styles and end the album on a beautiful note. If you like melodic soft rock then this will be an album you shouldnât ignore.
Rock Something, UK
Sharp Practise stand for an interesting mixture of all rock styles, no matter if classic rock, blues or folk. And they stand especially for one thing: insanely catchy melodies! Radiocity is an album with soul and feelings. From the first time onwards, you can sing along to tracks like Morgan`s Creek, Bridge Across The Harbour or No Thanks. This is actually a perfect album for dreaming!
Stalker magazine, Germany
There are also a number of qualities in this group, foremost of which is a certain personality and a sense of responsibility. It leads its career with flair and good sense⦠we have a genuine global group.
Francois Becquart, musicinbelgium.net, Belgium
One three-quarter hour of good, solid and affecting rock music. Recommendable! Kara, Heavyhardes, Germany
Saw Sharp Practise on their recent tour and was very impressed. Great album that doesn't let you stand still.
Ian Hollis, UK
Sharp Practise are a cool and inspiring outfit. They are doing the whole rock thing just as they see and feel it. These guys aren't just following trends, they're setting their varied stall out and saying 'hey, we're Sharp Practise, come inside, sit down, relax and enjoy what we do'. Well, I'm really enjoying 'Radiocity'. Rhythm ânâ booze rating 9

Bring On The Summer - Itâs a familiar story
Someone new has come
Tempted my love from me
And couldnât see no harm
All they did was lie and leave
You saw that I was lost
You brought me back to this perfect life
The poem in my arms
Bring on the summer, âcause the summer comes with your love
Bring on the summer, summer comes with your love
Bring on the summer, âcause the summer comes with your love
Bring on the summer, summer comes with your love
Itâs hard to get permission
When you want something new
Easy to be forgiven
So do what you gotta do
Before you came, my world was cold and grey
One pattern to it
Seems to me I wake up naĂŻve
Lay down a cynic
Bring on the summer, âcause the summer comes with your love
Bring on the summer, summer comes with your love
Bring on the summer, âcause the summer comes with your love
Bring on the summer, summer comes with your love
Here they ride, my butterflies
In close formation
This is the first of summerâs signs
I gotta chase âem
Bring on the summer, âcause the summer comes with your love
Bring on the summer, summer comes with your love
Bring on the summer, âcause the summer comes with your love
Bring on the summer, summer comes with your love
Bring on the summer, âcause the summer comes with your love
Bring on the summer, summer comes with your love
Bring on the summer, âcause the summer comes with your love
Bring on the summer, summer comes resplendent in your love
Na, na, la la la, ah ah ah ah,
Love, na, na, la la la, ah ah ah ah
Question Of Love - I am nobody, from the end of nowhere
I ainât got nothing, no-one seems to care
But in this darkness thatâs home to lovers and thieves
Prâhaps you can tell me who should I believe?
Talk to me, question of love
Câmon and answer me, question of love
How many secrets lie buried deep in your heart?
How many young men have perished in your arms?
Ainât into buying some lonely heart off the shelf
I ainât guilty but I wonât do time for no-one else
Talk to me, question of love
Câmon and answer me now, question of love
Make others rich all day
That just makes me angry
There must be something more than this
There must be something more than this
As hard as I try
I canât see no point to my life
There must be something more than this
There must be something more than this
Talk to me, question of love
Câmon and answer me now, question of love
Talk to me, question of love
Câmon and answer me, question of love
Sound Of Rock - Itâs all in the palette when you come to paint
A fine man in the morning, Iâm making noise, not sense
Knew that I had something, saw dancing at the bar
It makes me feel like no-one has played guitar before
Live for the sound of rock
Live for the sound of rock
Itâs all I need
Everything to me
It sets me free
I turned on the music to see the way ahead
I sought inspiration from voices of the dead
I wanna write the songs that you join in with your friends
Iâll drop in my pebble, see how I ride the wave
Live for the sound of rock
Live for the sound of rock
Itâs all I need
Everything to me
It sets me free
Not a soul wanted to listen
Now they want me to sing it with âem
Live for the sound of rock
Live for the sound of rock
Itâs all I need
Everything to me
It sets me free, sets me free
Live for the sound of rock, live for the sound of rock
Live for the sound of rock, live for the sound of rock
Live for the sound of rock
My bandVillage
