Rock threesome Retribution Gospel Choir are, apparently, composed of a long distance swimmer, a frisbee champion and an American Footballer. This CV probably explains why their second album sounds match-fit; 'Working Hard' marches along to a pounding feelgood stomp, '68 Comeback' accelerates into psychedelia like a Hells Angel on a mission, while closer 'Bless Us All' builds around a pulsating heartbeat before revealing a warm-yet-mournful finale.
