Album Reviews ..
Following on from the highly acclaimed 2013 release Exile Rollingexile have stayed true to form with Hardline the new album boasting 14 tracks. Hardline is a breath of fresh air in today's over-sampled and fickle music industry. It is an album that showcases the beauty of melody and word and reveals just how meaningful a four minute song can be..

Hardline was hard to review, with most albums there are strong tracks and filler tracks, Hardline was unusual as every track was strong. Good Morning London and The Hardline came out top .. Great Album Get It ..
