The eclectic debut release of South-Western Ontario rockers, Reson, spans the rock spectrum: straight up, indie, and thrash rock to introspective ballads and acoustic tunes. Simple arrangements, catchy tunes and solid musicianship and vocals. While essentially a home recording, the album doesn’t disappoint in either production value or song quality.
