V0id ,a three piece outfit hailing from South Wales can best be described as and indie take on hard rock. There are elements of the likes of Coldplay and the Manic Street Preachers,  with a touch of Harem Scarem thrown in. Well I say Harem Scarem, in reality Void have more in common with vocalist Harry Hess' solo album Just Another Day at times. Void's songs deliver an instant reward and at times seem very familiar even though you may never have heard them before. For instance Faceless comes across as a blend of Joan Jett’s I Love Rock 'N Roll crossed with Neil Young’s Rocking In The Free World, no bad thing.

Several other tracks here also exhibit what could be called environmentally friendly songwriting, that is recycling riffs and melodies that possibly have been heard before but, when this is coupled to the excellent production and decent vocals, it makes the whole album instantly listenable. Despite the heard it all before factor Void, with the slightly unique sound if not songs, have crafted an album with potentially huge appeal, jangly enough for the indie crowd and rocky enough for the MHR crowd. It's an album that is tailor made for both radio and for the live environment. If Void get the breaks expect them to do big things.
