Calm For The Restless are a quintet from Stevenage, Hertfordshire. Good hard working lads I don't doubt but they fail to score many points for originality.
They are optimistically described as UK 'Alt-Rockers' but sadly, there is nothing remotely alternative about the 5 tunes on a broadly nautical theme which make up the band's second EP.
The breathless voice of Don Macauley tries unsuccessfully to summon up some emotional substance from a series of dull platitudes about feeling lost, alone and generally shipwrecked.
Meanwhile the arrangements follow an all too familiar light metal formula complete with a brash male chorus that sound like a bunch of drunken sailors.
