More Jon Stevens More Jon Stevens

This is unadulterated rock with the guitar straps lowered and the drums up front and loud.

Jon Stevens has lost none of his higher register since his Noiseworks days and still can scream-sing without sounding contrived. There are some interesting tracks that will surprise listeners with their '70s rock outlook. In Your House is a weird and more introverted song that evens includes a hip hop rap. Perhaps Stevens has been listening to Audioslave, as he invokes Chris Cornell on the super charged The Chronic Symphonic. For someone with such a powerful voice, Stevens isn't scared of pushing it to the limits.
