James Downham can sing straight up!" - Mike Downing, Imprint"Still led by the beats of the remarkable Steve Banks." - Peter Lenardon, Imprint"Messing with the Muses is eleven tracks of solid rock 'n' roll songwriting, from the opening 'Final Fall' to the catchy 'Mary Go Round' and 'Injustice'" - Imprint"RESON played all of the songs off their alternative rock debut.
