Aaron Keylock - Against The Grain

Review by Peter Kimball-Evans

Against The Grain, the debut album by British rock guitarist Aaron Keylock, is a powerful and energetic collection of tracks that showcase his impressive guitar skills and songwriting abilities. The album features a mix of classic rock and blues-inspired tracks, with Keylock's guitar virtuosity shining through on each one.

The album opens with the riff-heavy "All The Right Moves," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. Keylock's vocals are raw and gritty, perfectly complementing the crunchy guitar riffs and driving rhythm section. "Down" and "Medicine Man" are both standout tracks, with Keylock's guitar solos taking center stage and leaving the listener wanting more.

The slower, bluesy tracks such as "Just One Question" and "Fallen Again" show Keylock's versatility as a songwriter and musician. His guitar playing is still impressive, but he also demonstrates a softer, more emotional side to his music.

Against The Grain is a strong debut album from Aaron Keylock. His guitar skills are undeniable, and his songwriting shows promise for even greater things to come. Fans of classic rock and blues-inspired music will not be disappointed.
