Chain Link Faith is a Phoenix, Arizona based band steeped in
traditional classic rock and roll style and influences. Formed
in 1999, their no frills, working man style of rock n roll is
cliché free is a breath of fresh air in a sea of image first
bands trying to make a name for themselves.
”Chances” reminds me of the debut Southgang CD in terms of the
twangy guitar Vocalist Jimi Powers sounds at times like
Sebastian Bach especially on “Chances” and “Think Again”. Yet,
on the lead track “Don’t Kick The Dog” Powers sounds like Kevin
DuBrow. Musically the band compares favorably with the
straight-ahead rock style of Tesla and Badlands. The guitars of
Powers and Mike Bolenbach are crisp and avoid utilizing
unnecessary effects. The blues based “Realize” features guitar
playing that immediately catches your attention and solos that
have a meaningful place within the composition. “Bear No Cross”
is a pure 70’s rocker that closes the CD on an aggressive note.
Considering Chain Link Faith display no modern rock influences,
the band is to be commended for sticking to their guns and
playing a style of music that would draw an older audience. The
Chain Link Faith CD is recommended listening to fans of pure
rock and roll. The album oozes with sweat and honest emotion, a
rarity in these times of pre-packaged disposable rock.
