These days there appears to be an inordinate amount of bands appearing out of nowhere and releasing CDs that surprise your socks off. Not that we're complaining mind you.
The excellently named Lime Shark are another blistering discovery. You know the occasions when Rush beef up their approach but they still sound a little too controlled and unemotional for comfort? Well Lime Shark impose no such restraints on their music.
The Lincolnshire band's guitars are as jagged as they are jangly, there's a searing passion to songs such as Blindside and The Lock & The Key, and the vocals are half-spoken and mysterious - just the way we like them.
Lime Shark aren't strictly 'prog' - more straightforward rockers with prog inclinations. As such you'll be mightily impressed by Three Ways From Sunday, which stacks a huge Back In Black riff up against honeyed Marillionisms - to remarkable effect.
7/10

Brit quartet Lime Shark have pulled in the plaudits from the likes of our own Geoff Barton, legendary producer Tony Platt and BBC 6Music and Planet Rock to boot. The Money Clock is their first offering from which comes the track Not Quite Nashville, which combines technical expertise with a Rush-like sound.
